Hi all,

Here is a little more info. Maybe this will help diagnosis the problem from my earlier post??

The problem seems to happen cold and hot. Although when the car sits for a long time it fires right up.

Changed cap and rotor. Not the problem. As soon as time permits, I will replace the wires and plugs. Last night, in a very dark spot, I checked for arcing in the wires and coil. Wires looked fine (Bougicord) but the coil had white lines along both sides of the coil and it was also making a steady ticking noise. Is that normal?

Also checked the air box thermostat. It seemed to be moving easily. Am about to check the vacuum hose at the FPR.

Thanks for the help I've received so far and any further assistance you can provide!

Jim

Way to go Sox!
