Does having a jumpy tach along with bogging mean my igniter is going bad? I just need a seond opinion... when i suddenly push the gas in the car bogs down and studders. Tach is jumping up while this happens then while studdering tach is at zero. clutch isnt slipping.

 

yes it is your ignitor!

 

thanks..... do u think i can drive the car for about 50 minutes w/o hurting anything to go get my spare distributor? ... as long as i dont suddenly floor it the car doesnt bog.

 

it should be alright.
just dont pull out in front of anyone... and stay in the slow lane so you can get off the road if the ignitor decides to die.

 

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years. Just a matter of time. From first impressions of bad igniter, i drove for over 3 months with it. My car didint bog tho.
