A vacuum leak could cause that, among other things.
Replace your dist cap and rotor, don't just clean them. Also, are you POSITIVE that your spark plug wires are on in the right order? A misfire and loss of power can also be caused by having the wires on incorrectly. It's really sounding more and more like you just need to complete your tune-up here. All the fouled plugs, pitted parts, etc point to neglect (not saying it's on your part, but just in general I mean) Use a bent paper clip to "jump the terminals" - you put each end of the bent paper clip into the terminals where it says above to, and then follow the instructions from there. The terminals will be labeled (I think it's on the underside of the black plastic cover for the diagnostics terminal thingie) so you can ensure you're jumping the correct terminals. -------------------- ![]() |
