I am confused.

No flywheel sensor but it does have the hall effect and it was replaced around '99 (I think) so I'm not suspecting.

Took distributor cap off a few nights ago and it was fine.

Antifreeze is OK but yet to check oil. I don't think it's headgasket since this was also done in '97 and it would be a rough idle (I think). This is more of an inconsistent surge.

So little time is right. This has been going on since last Wed evening .. good thing all of us fit into the '84 Honda Accord.

I think the FAQ said if it car runs better it probably is the AMM. Thanks for your help.
