Hi All-
Let me say I'm at work with this car and need to get home so any help would be appreciated. The car seems to be running fine and then after about 5 miles starts losing power enough where I need to pull over,doesn't die completely though.Also, gave me a good backfire or two. After a few minutes continue on until I have to pull over again. I changed the ignition coil last Thursday due to the same problem, drove it around all weekend no prob but now it's back. Also notice the battery seems weak sometimes? What can I check, have meter, dwell meter and other tools here, dwell seems good though. Condensor? plug wires? Battery?Car has been running great so far for the 7 months it's been my daily driver, idles perfectly. Thanks
