it's almost gotta be my distributor right? is it just a bad connection or is there one particular thing in the distributor that is going bad

 

uhhh what made you come to that conclusion? just wondering... since it could be a number of things.

 

open to any other suggestions but that's just my observation

 

i would start with the simple and try to pinpoint which cylinder is misfiring.

check: spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, distributor timing, fuel injectors, injector harnesses, fuel filter, fuel pressure, fuel pump, cylinder compression, map, ecu, etc.

 

i'm runnin a ls fuel pump with it now and it's a gsr motor but i talked to some people and they said that the fuel pump shouldn't affect it that much but i think i'm still gonna get the walbro 255

 

anymore input?

 

Sure, throw more fuel at it.

Again, as the previous post asks, how did you come to the conclusion it's misfiring, and what are the symptoms you're experiencing?

 

I'd like to hear too.

 

your fuel pump is fine for a stock gsr

 

if you're rollin along, let's say 2500 rpms in 5th, you give it full throttle and it starts to almost stutter before it can get goin and even when it's goin it runs very rough. also one of my distributor plugs comes lose sometimes and it gets worse that is why i said it was my distributor but if i just get new spark plug wires will it fix it? i looked inside the plug and it appears ok but i'm still not sure.

 

OK now there's more information - good. Wasn't too clear in your first post.

What's loose? Which distributor plug? The wiring harness or one of the secondary (spark plug) wires? If its a loose terminal in the distributor cap, that's a pretty good reason to replace the cap (& rotor while you're at it). If the terminal on the end of a spark plug wire is coming off, then get new wires. That's not the same as replacing your distributor.

 

start by checking you plugs and plug wires. If they are good, check you distibutor cap for cracks, if the electrode in the middle is worn and check your rotor to see if there is a lot of oxydation on it. If everything is ok, check for a bad injector... I doubt it is your fuel pump.

 

from the info i got from you guys, i think i'm just gonna throw a new cap on and get some new wires, they're old anyways. thanks a lot

 

Let us know if that does the trick.

yea it was just the distributor cap was bad and i still need to tune it but doin better now
