So the girlfriends 240 wouldn't start when it was really cold. (-10F) and then it got to be about 25F and I tried to start it and it hesitated but started and idled just fine.

I got it into the driveway and i pulled a plug and it's gap was twice what it should be. Fair enough... Good time to replace ignition parts. (bought the car last summer/8k miles ago and owner said he just replaced the stuff...liar!) The cap and rotor had some corrosion as well.

I replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires. Started it up and drove it around the block. Felt like there was a miss and a knock. I probablly bumped the timing off right! I'll wait for my timing light to get returned to me.

Meantime today I started it and it runs with a serious miss and the motor rocks back and forth pretty good. I loosened the distributor to see if i could get the timing in a better spot. Well...turning it doesn't seem to effect the poor running at all!? Still runs like poo.

Now I tried to start it and it won't start at all!! Could I have gotten some bad plug wires?? The cap and rotor are making good contacts...

I also checked the diagnostics and no codes come up.

Pulling my hair out here! This car man...
