drove the car round trip for 40mi this morning, no problem
Got in this afternoon, and had a slight sputtering? problem that has gotten worse and worse. ON throttle, i have really no power, the car sounds like its really straining, and the smell out the exhaust is very high in gasoline. Once i get it up to higher speeds (65+mph) it kinda goes away but its still there. I checked the plugs and wires, all is good. just bad gas?

i wiggled the wires, nothing noticeable.
ALthough the plugs look OK (normal greyish-white tips), i am going to replace them tomorrow. they have probably 50 or 60k. And i am gonna put NGK instead of bosch.  The car is running so rich that either too much fuel is getting in there orrrrrr the fuel isnt burning completely. If that fails i will continue to check the dizzy etc. thanks bitter. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
