Vette spurting/misfiring this morning
Any clues as to what caused my 90 Vette to spurt and misfire this morning.
Because of the cooler temperatures, I've been running the car about every 3 days. This morning, upon starting, it just kept misfiring and would turn off. After about the 4th attempt (after I had checked all sparkplug connections, wiring, anything else I thought could be loose), I simply floored it, it stayed running and smoothed out. Its been running smooth since then, possible problems? 1. Injector clogged up - possibly fuel filter needs replacing 2. Air filter (though it was cleaned about 1,500 miles ago - K&N) 3. A spark plug is faulty? Any ideas? As always, all help, leads and comments are appreciated. Empty3 - Houston 1990 Vette |
