Took the car out for a test drive after the e-fan install. After about 10 minutes of driving the car developed a "stumble" at around 2800rpm. Cleared up and kept driving. Then, it got BAD. Even shut off at idle. I'm figuring it's in the "ignition" somewhere and will pull plugs, check wires, possible pertronix issue, gonna look at fuel filter, etc. Anything I may be missing or should look at first? Got the car back home and it had cleared up. E-fan works though :crazy

Oil around threads on 5 plugs. All ds and 1 ps. Only 1 plug has a hint of burnt oil and it is the one with the most oil around the threads. Safe to assume it's a vc gasket issue and not a ring issue? Try and just tighten or go ahead and replace vc gaskets? Won't fix the miss but later updates for that.

6/1/09--new plugs and wires and finally got a break in the rain to drive. Same thing. Starts off good, pulls good through the first "gunning", then it misses like crazy under a load. I can let off the gas, get back into idle and it will smooth itself out. Put it under a load and we want to go nowhere. I haven't changed Pertronix, coil, solenoid. New fluids with no oil/water, water/oil. Next thing to check would be.....
