Re: Misfire mystery
Fairlane, I don't hear the same puff, puffing that our coupe has in your second video. You are likely correct about the fan blade, but to be certain, perhaps holding a piece of cardboard between the...

Re: Misfire mystery
Our coupe's puffing is much more noticeable. Is your car's puffing at the tail pipe more pronounced in person than on the video?
Is your vacuum gauge dampened?
The idle seems a bit fast. I...

Re: Condenser Capacity
Nice thread guyz. I experienced my first point/condenser failure a couple months ago. The condenser, a modern type upper plate, was over two years old and had about 13000 miles on it. I have a simple...

Re: Misfire mystery
X2 on congrats. Your post describes a failed ignition cable. I also like your theory. The post implies that the misfire condition, which you have been looking for, is now gone.
