V8 Beast Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Pretty much everything has been covered. I ran into that a few times myself. Twice it was spark plugs, once a bad maf, the 4th was the spark plug wires. Somehow one went bad but it looked fine. Didnt realize it was bad until a voltage test was done. I dont miss those days of trying to diagnose my pita car. Its broke so much I just refer to past breaks for an easy fix :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 im gona pull the wires and check them right now. also doing new plugs, if anyone with a real skinny arm wants to reach to put the wire back on the back passenger side plug i could use ur help. man that plug and wire is a pita, expecially with a large forearm.

1slow-z Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 If it had a car it wwould be fixed already.I'm. Putting tr7s in it today there stock wires with the metal shield and none are close to headder. it don't seem like any single cyl sometimes its one then 5 in a row. Its symptoms aren't like any 1 thing in particular. Carb is way more simple. No sensors to fail no 8 inj to misfire or 8 coilpacks to test! I love me come carbs! Yeah you just have to change jets every pass and pump the gas peddle until you can't feel your leg to get it to start lol. Just take it to Brian's and eliminate all guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99ta Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 sometimes from the bottom is easier yes, and take the coils off. and when you put them back on on put a couple bolts in the coils so its easier to take off in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
