I went to take it out for a drive tonight, but the car was behaving badly. it was stumbling,sputtering, not being totally responsive to the throttle. backfired once, and shut off on me once. I knew I had gas, so I can rule that out. its getting fuel as well, checked the lines. all the vacuum lines seem to be intact after a visual inspection. what is going on?
I checked the alternator wires, and I have them hooked up exactly the way the orignal one was (when I got it) So it may be wrong, but i am not sure. any help is really appricated.
Remind us again what kind of car we are talking about? :-| Imagstation seems to be down hard and no pictures are coming thru...and I couldn't find the original posts.
Carb = done
Alt = done, but you think there is another problem since you "checked the alternator wires"??
Timing & firing order come first to mind and the oil press, you may have a partial ground somewhere. When you say the oil fades on/off, does it get full bright or just "flicker" what does your pressure guage say? Do you have the TSM or a Chilton/Hayes book to check wiring diagrams?
