Smooth idle now...

Subject: Smooth idle now...
by Fredbird on 2011/5/12 16:57:41

Changed Plugs and wires on my 1991.

Went with ACDelco Plat. Rapidfire and Duralast Wires (Nothing Special.)

Previously it ran pretty well, but had a bit of a rough Idle... But I think I was had weak/losing spark due to bad wires. (Found this when I grabbed the distributor to adjust timing... *ZAP*) I will replace Dist Cap/Rotor next week. Also found that the previous owner had EVERY wire backward... The Dist/Coil end was on the plug and the Plug end was on the dist. So they were a bit loose on the plugs and they also had no Jelly. Could have been grounding all the time.

Only 1 concern... Even though the engine runs 10X better than it did before and starts with no effort anymore. 1X while starting it... the engine just stumbled and sputtered when I started it. I shut it off and started it again, it was fine, never happened again.

Any Ideas? I'm thinking it was a fluke... Possibly since I had started it several times in a row maybe confused the computer?
