En route from Seattle to Livingston MT, began experiencing what seems like
an ignition issue about 30 miles out from Missoula yesterday. There was one
instance of a very brief cutout and a few little hiccups. We spent the
night here as planned and I experienced some problems with the idle when I
filled up with gas this morning. I drove around town a bit, seemed mostly
OK but ever now and then the idle seemed a little rough, had to give it
more gas than normal when taking off from a standstill. I unloaded the back
and opened the engine cover. Nothing obviously wrong that I could see (of
course) so I just disconnected and reconnected the important connectors,
AFM, idle stabilizer, OXS, injectors. The engine has had a recent tuneup
(new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor) and has been running great. The
fuel filter was replaced about 12K miles ago. We're going to press on (250
miles to go) and hope for the best. Just thought I'd get this email out
before we head out in case things don't go well.
