1984 Toyota Celica GT 22R motor by [email protected]
Will not stay runningsounds like there is a heavy miss. New spark plugs (NGK) and alternator. I pulled a spark plug and looked black and smelled like fuel. I need to adjust the rocker arms because I hear a tap from the valve cover. Any information would be helpfully.
