Sorry for the thread Hi-jacking, my backfire issue seemed similar when I started the post-reply and I got carried away.

As for the radiator, no I have not taken it to a shop for cleaning yet, I'll have to add that to my list once I get the backfiring/dieseling/timing issue resolved. Thanks.

Driving home last night, though, the engine started to output a low level of varying power while trying to maintain a constant road speed (varying to the point of jerking the car). My initial thoughts would be that the timing issues have fouled a spark plug or two, but alas it'll have to wait until I have some time on Saturday to really examine the plugs as I attempt to perform a compression test and valve check. Any other thoughts on what to take a look at would be greatly appreciated.
