elcaminokurt Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I would have to suggest motor mounts. I know they crack and rot from age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Does it run well at higher speeds? I've accidently bumped spark plug wires before, then wondered why it didn't want to start easily, and shook like crazy once it did start.

ndu Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Ya, check the simple things like spark plug wires first....It happened to me before....do not run car with misfire for long, it may damage your catalyst converter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I know on N/A motors, a vacuum leak comes to mind - check for anything that could allow unmetered air into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ok, i just got done changing disty cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and did a coil swap to the accel coil... much better.. no more feeling like i have a stroker under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
