It starts right up, but there is an engine skip when it first starts up. If I let it run for 3 or 4 minutes, the skip goes away and off I go. If I try to drive with the skip, it is very difficult not to stall and the van bucks with extremes of stopping and going. Having a similar problem w/ my 86 Syncro, even after new Temp 2 sensor and O2 Sensor. Pugs/wire/cap/rotor also new. Going to clean grounds next, then dive into the AFM. But I'm interested in any continued advice to feed the back of my little brain. Thanks, James V 86 Syncro Westy |
