I'm hearing vacuum leaks, boost leaks, plug gaps, and wiring as possibible culprits.
Lets go with MSD coil, Granitelli wires, and Iridium plugs gapped to.32 -.35 and go the dealer for the vacuum and boost checks. I check the tire inflation at fill up time. Anything else?  |
Skip the MSD coil. A waste of money and stock one is actually more reliable. Other ideas are good. Add in a K&N air filter.
