Love_em_when_there_old Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 If the tach was bouncing around that is a 1st warning sign of distributor failure. You might need a new disty my friend :-\ -Bill Thanks, It did this before and after Disty replacment. Bad wiring causing faults in the disty?

The Beast I Drive Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Better check it for shaft play, if the shaft wiggles around then its bad. if not, just check all the wires and plug connectors. I know its not anywhere close to your situation, but my Turbo wagon had a similar problem where it would run great then just die for no reason. Turned out 2 of the engine control harness plugs werent completely fastened and would work loose while driving. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subystomper Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Did you check the fuel filter, pump and system? Does it fire right up with starter fluid? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love_em_when_there_old Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 So does this make sense?

It running better than ever, and i changed all the oils! NOw my battery is toast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
