Problem
Todd,
Could be stuck open valve, bad vacumn line, piece
of crap stuck in spark plug, bent push rod, lot of things. Pull valve covers
and check valve train, see if all is well. Have even popped the tops of
lifters off. If all is well, drain down a qt of oil, add a qt of Marvel
Mystery Oil per instructions and change the oil. Be suprised what results you
get. Could have lifters hanging up etc. Will free them up. Cheap try instead
of pull down if it works.

Problem
1. The engine was sitting for a year or
less, and was run 3x while parked in December '05 all was fine!
2. Started it yesterday and the
engine was "missing" like a shake while in idle.
3. In December I added high test 2
gals. gas with small amount of lead additive.
4. Added 4 gals more of gas as it
was out of gas yesterday
5. Any ideas of what to check to
correct this?
(I checked the spark across each plugs on the
cap, the spark was there on all 8.)
thanks,
Todd
