Subject:      Engine Died, got it running, but rough under load...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

HI All, I made a point of driving the family the family around this am, instead of taking my wifes(reliable) car. I had the engine die 2 blocks from our destination, and let them walk(in the rain) while I tried to sort it out. Once I got in there, and reseated plug wires & such, it did slowly come back to life, but once I put any load on it, it gets rough and dies. I had it towed, rather than force it to climb hills in that condition.

Since I am new at this, does anyone have any ideas? I am still waiting for my bentley.... Seems my bentley became a xmas present, and when my wife ran out of $.....

Thanks, Matthew C. Huntley Thawte Web of Trust Notary
