Hmm, sounds very familiar. I had an intermittent short in a coil that acted just that way. It would be fine again once it cooled off enough. Well, except for that last time.. Sorry for not seeing your message sooner..

Hey, I just put my engine back together and noticed I had one spare small vacuum line and one spare vacuum port, but that none could reach the other. I was wondering if you could help me out. I have one small line coming from the brake line vacuum on the other side of the firewall connected to the thermal vacuum switch. The other side of that is connected to the EGR valve (I screwed up and don't remember which line goes to the aluminum line and which goes to the brass (any ideas?)). I have two small lines coming from the throttle body to the distributor (these should be fine). I also have one small line coming from the front of the intake manifold going to a T connected to the Decel valve above the engine with the other end plugged (not right). The free port that needs a line is on the driver's side of the charcoal cannister. Can you decode this? Where have I gone wrong?

I'll post a message about why I pulled the engine after tomorrow's highway test..

-- John
