740 skipping 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Gilbert Milone on  Mon Jan 14 03:41 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Happy Monday morning everyone,
Last night while driving my better half home my car started to act
strange. The car seemed to mis-fire every now and then. It was at completely
random times, and fails to happen when sitting still, or when accelerating
at a rapid rate. At first I suspected the fuel pump. But the accelerating
rapidly, with no skipping seems to have eliminated that right?? I was also
thinking maybe something with the distributor, but that almost doesn't seem
right, because it should be happening on a regular basis, not just at random
times. Anyways, I wrote it off as being ok, and drove it into work today,
and the same thing this morning along my 45 mile commute. It's like the
engine dies for a fraction of a second. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Gil Milone
