i gaped them at .050...runs a little better but when i go to give it gas it bogs backfires ever once in a while...im stating to wonder if the timing is off some..it will idle perfect for about 2 seconds then the revs will start going down and down then will either stall if you let it....or rev it and it will come back up if it dont bog...
what should i try next to get this thing to run better?
Whats your fuel pressure? Ever change your fuel filter? It could be, whats your timing at? Are the wires in order?(Firing order)
fuel pressure......hell if i know....
fuel filter...i have a new one sitting on the work bench..where is the filter located at? is it in the tank or?
timing....no idea...
wires...yes....
Anyone else gap at 054?
Do ALL the tune up stuff, easily knock that off the list. If the problem persists then you have a few things checked off the list. Id say new pump, filter, maybe even injectors, AFPR, new coil, wires, plugs, rotar, cap, to start. Might cost a little but a car thats been sitting NEEDS this stuff to be done! Get her running right before you ever throw a mod at it. If you start modding (Im talking any mods) before it runs right, you might never find the issue!
Didnt you say there was 7 year old gas in it? That may be the culprate
LOL,, 7 year old gas? The filter is clogged!
btw..whats a AFPR
Yeah...7 year old gas...i think it is...going to drop the tank sunday...
yeah i got a new filter....just havent put it in yet!
