Thank you for keeping us or me in the loop Art!
I would have never gone over to there as I’m not a member to reply to turbos as I have never owned or driven one.
In a post, before I got off into the excessive air possibility, that I recently completed was that the whole engine was firing poorly.
It was along that line that I said, something right in the middle of the ignition system was what I considered the problem.
I took it that his 20,000 mile idea is as new as he could get it.
Shame we all couldn’t see it shake until now.
He told me he was going to check out the spark coil relay behind the battery.
So I relaxed.
We both have had suspicions shout that gadget and or its connections.
Maybe he did or didn’t check it as he done a lot of jumping around for his $680 puzzle.
I feel the car was well past due maintenance. It is all original as kept saying.
Another 400 thousand more miles is a terrible dream with the automotive or transportation industry being in such a turmoil.
Maybe he thought about as what’s in the middle a few more times and went back with the basics again?
IMO That’s that we all should do?
The Cap and Rotor explains a lot!
I don’t agree with the statement on turbo bricks that they can only last 10,000 miles but facsimiles are out there.
That system of components was used for many decades across several makes of vehicles and we know what drives a market. $$$ and sometimes a few cents is craziness, but logical, if considering the production numbers that has paid for the tooling and R&D many times over.
I have taken used Bosch caps, rotors and some ignition wires from scrapyards and stashed them.
I really do not about what is being sold in these inflationary days as quality or how a lot of manufacturing skill shortages are affecting their presentations.
There has been a many junkers found in the past with those components replaced as an attempt to avoid the graveyard as the cost of repairs have skyrocketed.
Maybe that 10K theory was a little too vibrant depending on availability from then to now?
So I’ll reserve a space that the Turbo’s post could have some validity.
