84 Brat misses badly

Featured Replies

my 1984 subaru brat's engine misses

 

when driving it it misses alot from idle up to 3 or 3.5 thousand rpm. when you are just reving it, it misses from about idle to 2 thousand.

 

I have sprayed carb cleaner in the carb, checked the whole ignition system out (nothing looks damaged or worn, wires are not "leaking", the plugs are gapped to .040 and look in good condition) I have adjusted the timing all around, it still misses. I even replaced the egr valve with the one off of my loyale. I have not checked the compression as I do not have a tester that can reach in properly

 

do you have any other suggestions?

a word of caution to everyone, don't buy a set of $5 spark plug wires off of ebay. (the "Preformance" ones you have to cut to size and crimp the end on yourself.)

 

I replaced them with the factory ones from my loyale, it runs fine.
