My 89 305TBI is missing and idles like crap. We replaced
the distrubutor, distributor cap, and distributor roter. We thought this would fix the problem. Started the car
up and it sounded great. Then took if for a ride and it
was back to missing and idleing rough.

Then we replaced the plugs. The plugs and plug wires were
replaced when I bought the car 2 years ago. We started
the car up and it sounded great. Then took it on a test
drive the engine got warm and it started idleing like
**** again and missing....

Does anyone have any ideas what would cause the engine
to do this only when it gets warm? It runs fine before
the engine gets warm...

THANKS!

 

I double checked the timing and I had it set at 8 instead
of 0 degrees

That was the problem

 

id leave it there...may idle funny but defuinetly more power

 

more power?? umm yea I don't think so buddy

 

although I haven't done it yet, I'd read on the board that about 4 degrees is about all you need

 

alittle timing boost isnt going to hurt performance.

 

hmm well I know mine ran like **** at 8. Some guy on another board claimes he as his 18 advanced....

 

mine runs good at about 6 although it didnt miss at 12 when i was messing with it
