Re: Cylinder 1 misfire / Cam Syncro

Re: Cylinder 1 misfire / Cam Syncro

Re: Cylinder 1 misfire / Cam Syncro

A missaligned synchro can cause a P0301 it's possible but in my experience it also causes the vehicle to cut out at WOT around 4,000 RPM and then resume accelerating. I would suggest that you set...

Re: Need help!!! - 1987 sputtering when driving feels like fuel issue?

I had a bad fuel pump relay on my 1987 2.3L and it wouldn't run at all... This is a 2.9L I think it's a little different.
