Erik - I don't know how you are progressing with your problem, but I 
thought that I would share an experience that I had with Winged1. I 
had done a complete tune-up with all new parts (cap, rotor, wires, 
plugs, and replaced the air filter element with a K&N unit), and had 
about 500 trouble-free miles on the parts. Suddenly, I developed a 
miss at certain RPM's, and a rough idle. My gas mileage dropped off 
appreciably. Naturally, this all started to unravel in the middle of 
a long-distance rally with the PNDC. Power was way down, which is a 
bad thing for me. To make a long story a little shorter, one of the 
plug wires had somehow come unplugged from the cap, and was just 
sitting there, making an arcing contact occasionally. I plugged the 
wire in firmly, and all symptoms ceased. Of course, this required 
removal of the intake to get to the distributor to refit the wire, but 
I don't think that the intake had anything to do with the problem.
