All, I replaced the plugs and wires last night have have driven to work and back twice on them so far. Thing still doesn't feel right but hasn't bucked yet. What I noticed this morning was small hesitations or misses and a general "flat" feeling from the engine. Not sure if it meant that the computer was dialing back timing or what. Definitely uncomfortable feeling--as if something worse was always about to happen. The lumps are subtle but definitely there. I should stress that I've been running VERY light throttle levels lately--I'm a bit scared of something happening if I were to try to punch it!
Would a fuel filter be the cause of this stuff? I mean, the plugs and wires I installed are factory fresh. I should mention again that I'm just shy of 60k on the clock and none of the standard 60k items (aside from plugs and wires now) have been done. -Bryan --- On Mon, 6/9/08, Ken Bogart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Ken Bogart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Update on 2002 Bucking without CEL - The Buck is Back...
