Drivabilty issue.

Jez Ray, bless you for draining the tank! Go buy a fuel filter and use that to get the wrench size for the nuts on it and the lines...I don't remember if they are the same, sorry. Swap the filter, and do a pressure test alla the book flow chart or see Jeff's answer to Nate(sick 90) for a simpler way.

Gotta start eliminating places to look. If the fuel sys check out then ing sys is next on line. I would still say that if the fuel sys checks out okay I would borrow a scan tool and "look" at what the motor is doing. You can take out all the plugs and turn the key to "on" and smell all the plug holes...if the injectors are leaking you might smell the fuel or just turn the key on for a short time and then pull the plugs to see if gas is present. Obviously it shouldn't be and the injectors are leaking.

Before you go crazy:

Did any of the stock plugs have the platinum tip missing from the ground? This will effectively increase the gap. What did you gap the new plugs at?

Plugs were ok, they were black, changed them with 419's and gap is 45.

Ray,
Wish I were closer. I had a car once that sputtered on throttle tip in. It was the plugs. If it were my car, I would re-gap the plugs to .035 and see if it makes a difference. It is free to do so if you take your time and properly remove the plug boot. Is the 419 the dual platinum? If so, get rid of them!!! The platinum puck will fall off. Ted

ok what plugs would you suggest.
thanks

I've been lucky to find Rapidfire #9s. My yellow car has the expensive Iridium plug and it's good for what it is. #9s are about $2 each and go strong for about 10,000 miles. Ted

Plugs I put in were 413's not 419's regapped and same issue.
