engine problems, again.

[David Williamson]

if there are cracks in the wires get a new set before you do anything else, that might be your whole problem

Alright thanks.
I thought that's what it might be.
So new wires, what about plugs?

 

[pontiacgp]

if the plugs are relatively new I'd clean them up and use them

Okay, I was going to ask what's the best way to clean them and the openings for them?

 

[pontiacgp]

clean with carb cleaner and a rag...and you can set them at 45

Okay thanks a bunch.
I will update you when i get this all done.

and if you find them set at 40 you can leave them

I got the new wires, cleaned the plugs with carb cleaner and a rag.
Put em back in and it kind of ran a bit better but not much of a difference.

I am sorry I am not following set them at 40?

maybe he is talking about the plug gap

 

[pontiacgp]

yes I was talking about the spark plug gap...

do a cap an rotor and then replace all your plugs with ac/delco or whatever they originally used in the motor. ive pissed around with cleaning plugs, and now ive realized you can have 2 different sets of plugs and have 2 completely different running engines. anytime ive used bosch, i found the motor would have shitty acceleration but be better at higher rpms, but when i switched back to the plain-jane original ac/delco's, it would run alot better.
