    Miss/spudder when warm?

    So i finally got the trans in my car and it works great! Tonight when i was road testing it, it really started to miss and spudder as the car got warmer. I did take the plugs out to do the trans, so it could be them. I dunno, the warmer it got the worse it got.

    plugs/wires?

    thoughts?

      Reminds me of my usual power loss after running in traffic for a long time with a warm-air intake, but that doesn't usually lead to any extra missing ....

      What's the condition of your other ignition components? (And what ignition system are you running? I tend to assume you're Duraspark-based unless told otherwise!) That comes to mind because my DSII-based car was showing a reluctance to restart whilst out somewhere (twice), while it only did it once at home. I spent $25 on a new magnetic pickup, but have yet to thoroughly test it because lately I've been driving the HEI car when my wife's not home.

        i have no idea what they are lol. It did seem to have a bit of a harder time getting started the second time so maybe it could be that

        thanks!

          Guess I babbled too much at once. What ignition system do you have?

            might be due for a tuneup. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air and fuel filters.

                Nothing wrong with the stock ignition system. Do what Thain said and go from there. If the stuff hasn't been serviced in a while, definitely...

                  "Stock" is very useful information - because, you know, every vehicle in the history of mankind came stock with exactly the same ignition system.

                  Seriously, I still have no idea if this car uses DSII, TFI, or that bastardized EEC-III arrangement.
