just today, car started running real rough, from idle all the way up the RPM range. Did a quick ignition check, fat spark being delivered to all plugs at idle, no carbon tracking in cap or on rotor.
I am thinking it is running so rich that it is mis-firing.
Where do I look next?
I did check all vaccum hoses, and repaired them all, and Swapped AMM's with known good one.......
