Subject:      High RPM Misfire --  Update
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

This morning I went out to do a compression check on the van and when I
started it I noticed it was running fine (I pulled the number 2 plug wire
and the engine started to misfire like you would expect).  So I took it for
a drive and for the first 5-6 minutes it ran good then the misfire fire
started again.  I stopped and pulled the number 2 plug wire and there was no
change.  Could this misfire be temperature dependant?  If so what might be
the cause?

I also noticed that there is a loose lifter (rattle didn't go away).  I'll
have to check those lifters later today.


I switched the injector wires for the #1 and #2 as suggested by a list
member.  That seemed to lead to the misfire becoming intermittant (comes and
goes through RPM range.)

Oh, I almost forgot the compression test revealed 115 - 125 on all four
cylinders.  This moter was rebuilt about 6,000  miles ago.

Sorry for the random thoughts but I've been so involved in this problem I
seem to have lost my objectivity (and sanity).  If you have any suggestions
please let me know!!

Thanks

Gary
