Re: How to do a tuneup on a 960??? 900 1992

Mike,

While I can't help you directly, I'm sure others will offer some suggestions. However, I think it might be best to do some diagnostics if you can. You seem to be going through a process of elimination which could be costly and frustrating. There may be several reasons for a rough running 960. I know that if you have changed the timing belt recently, and you failed to align the teeth precisely, one tooth off will give you a rough idle. Although it might not hurt your car, more than that and its toast.

The basic tune-up on these cars is fairly simple once you gain access to the plugs. You change the plugs, air filter and flame trap (may be another source of your problem), but it has no distributor, points, etc.
