Re: Bad timing? Rough idle?
Update time.
Wire set came today - put coil pack back on, connected wires to plugs and pack (a little dielectric on each end of the wires), triple checked the connection order on the pack vs cylinder, reinstalled plenum looked everything over and crossed my fingers. Fired the beast up and low and behold a nice steady purr. Put it in reverse to back it out of the garage and no hesitation or hiccups in the timing, put it drive same thing - nice running engine. Took it for a 5 mile easy drive and all seems back to normal - now to drive it for a couple of days to get enough engine cycles through to take it for emission testing and renew the plates. I picked this up in '04 with ~32K miles on it, so I have had it for 10 years and put 135K miles on it - definitely got my moneys worth out of it with nothing more than routine maintenance and a couple of recalls. I really have liked this vehicle, it still rides nice and now that the engine problem appears to have been resolved it should easily hit 200K. If I could only control the rust on the rockers it would be a perfect vehicle. Thank you all for the replies and input, I will definitely stick around this forum; I have an '01 Sable with 120K and an "05 Freestar with 123K that I plan on keeping for a while, especially with 2 teenage boys that are driving age. |
