Hey Guys
I'm trying to trace down a recurring issue with my car.
I'm not sure if the two are related but I would hope so.
The tach completely fluctuates, it seems that the higher the RPM the more wild it gets. It used to just sort of tick, now on the highway I can't really explain it, but its just all over the place wobbling, probably 300rpms of play.
The other part of the problem is a misfire that has gotten progressively worse. It used to happen very occasionally, while I was crusing probably at 2000rpms in 3rd gear. Now its horrible, I can't drive the car without it. I hear it skip WOT, and it's killing the car's power.
Is it possible that the distributor, more specifically the PIP sensor could be causing both of these issues. I understand the PIP relays the engine speed to the tach, correct?
I really really want to buy a reman distributor and throw it in, solving everything.
Anybody have any input?
Thanks guys
Joe
