Running rough

Post by mosiacspider »

Hello,

Your feedback is much appreciated!

I have a 77 spider. Just did a tune up: points, cap, rotor, plugs, new carb, air and fuel filter you get the picture.

The car was running very well for about 2 days. Today it's running very rough. It starts no problem; however, idles rough and very hesitant on acceleration.

I though it was the sparkplug wires as it seems like its not running on all cylinders. I have to order a set but had an older one and swapped it through all 4 one at a time. No change.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Danno

since you replaced everything else, did you try the condensor?

sorry to offer only basic solutions....have you changed the timing at all since you put these fresh parts on? I'd start with ignition timing if it was working fine before....

pull the plug wires from the cap one at a time with the engine idling to determine which cylinder isn't firing
