Here's the low down.... i have a 94 GT. I replaced the valve cover gasket because oil was getting into my spark plug holes. Replacement went fine. I decided to replace the spark plugs and wires as well. I gapped the plugs to 0.44. Here's where things went wrong. When i replaced the wires, i forgot to mark where the plugs went in to the distributor for the correct firing order... i know, not smart. Also while switching them around, i broke what i read up on line to be the "tvv" or the bimetal vaccuum switching valve. Now, i believe i have the wires connected in the correct firing order but all it does is try to start and sometimes even sputter a bit. My question is, could the tvv be the cause (i heard it could run without it but it would run poorly) or did i mess up on the wire order or what. Any input is great.
