Hey Dave thanks but i just checked the vacumn advance
the other day with a timing li9ght and how do u check
the mechanical adavance?? Also the srping decel valves
are not stuck i just checked those recentlty too and i
have all new vacumn hoses on the car.. Rob Grady seems
to think it is the fuel distributor though that is
pretty expensiev wish i could check it somehow.. I
will have to try the graduated cup test with the
injectors i guess. Any more suggestions? could it be
the fuel pump or warm up regulator? Though the warm up
regulator is new as of a few months ago. Thanks.
