I took the ride out on the town the past couple days and came across two major problems. First problem is this: When I accelerate, the car is sluggish, when I give it gas it goes but it hesitates bad. I tried to reach higher rpms to see if it would be any better but its worse.

Problem 2 is this: My spark plugs keeps turning charcoal black. I have tried gapping at 026, 028, 030, 032, and 034 but this keeps occuring. The wires, distributor, cap, and rotor are brand new. I was told that my problem is a fuel issue. I have a FPR that is fully adjustable if that matters in all this. The FPR is set at 38psi.

The car will idle on its own and fire up every time, first try. Even when I rev it up in nuetral I can here it hesitating. It sounds like a spark and fuel problem to me, but I cant figure it out.

Can you please help me out???

Mine acted similar.. it was the distributor itself... started to fail.

Also, the black on the plugs could be caused by the misfires from a bad distributor or bad timing. Just an insight into it.....

thanks for the response. the distributor is brand new though

northkai3

the whole housing, coil, ignitor?

rocko5845

yes, all new

northkai3

all oem?

rocko5845

yes, the only thing that is not OEM is the plugs and wires.
