WEIRD MISSFIRE/JERK 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Sun Feb 25 11:38 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Only because you mentioned the Headlamps (also all caps is hard to read),
Check wires that come off the positive battery post...not the big one that goes to the starter but the smaller ones that go to the 25 amp fuse and the connector on the rail with the black cover.

Also open the hood up at night with the car running and see if you see any blue electric traces racing around the engine bay.

What kind of Spark plug wires did you use. I had this exact symptom with brand new Magnecors in my 89. Night viewing revealed the bad wire.


Why oh why don't they make 240s anymore :(
