Subject: umm, Muffler was glowing red? What could be wrong.
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
Hey team, a quick note from my Brother-in-law in the UP of Michigan. Any
onw got a clue of what's goin on??
**** SNIP ORIGINAL ****
my van managed to do something strange never been done before to me today.
It was skipping for a couple of miles at 65 dropped to 45 kicked in again
so sped to 60 and then pulled into friends driveway. Did an uphill run up
the driveway spitting/sputtering/baby backfires with flame all the way up
and shut it off. Muffler was glowing red. So what is your diagnosis?
Seems as though something just kinda "broke". Distributor? I did check
connections, condition of rotor and cap and relay on right rear fender
already and their all okay.
