Background: Engine missing after driving for some time. At first it only happened once in a while but after a few days its now more consistant. The engine runs fine until the car has been parked for some time after the engine was warm.
Parts replaced: Cap, Rotor, TFI module.
Parts that have a problem: I noticed this evening when I had the dizzy out that the metal flag cup, the part that sits inder the roter had been rubbing the meag pickup assembly. There are or were little metal filings in the dizzy. I removed and cleaned the inside of the dizzy.
After reinstalling the dizzy I ran the engine for some time and not a single miss. When I took it to the store it start missing around 2k and seems to go away over the 3k range. Since I do not have a doner dizzy I am not sure what else to do.
Some possibilities are:
Replace plugs and wires tomorrow.
I went to the boneyard to get a dizzy but could not see the benifit to spend 50 bucks for a stock, used and no warrenty unit when one could be bought for 80 bucks with new electronics at a local parts. The problem with the new dizzy, part must be ordered.
Could the coil be bad and should I throw one at this beast? Any help or suggestions would be received with open arms.
Stumped,
Allen
