but the engine seems to sputter every now and then. The engine also seemed to idle high for a few moments today and then it acted like it didn't want to run. I do know the spark plugs are way out of gap and could probably use a full tune-up. Do you think it just needs a good tune up or could there be something else up?

Thanks,

Hey i think u really need a good tune up. only other reason i can think of an idle like that is spark timing is slightly off, but i think its the gaps on your plugs.

 

oh 1 quick question about the iron duke. what displacment is it and when were they made?

 

151 cu and they were made from 82-84. Some folks say made till 85, but I have yet to see one.

Now it's throwing out a code 42 and running really rough.

yep, they made em then but i think 85 was the last year. i have an original GM showroom brocure from 85 that describes the iron duke as having "fuel injected performance". lol, what an overstatement.

oh well, i say the problem with your car is youre missing half youre cylinders. time for a v8 swap!!! want a free 305? its better than youre 4banger. take it out of my garage im sick of tripping over it.

im serious though...someone take it.....

 

Already got one of those in my parts car. But I'll take that 355 off your hands, free of charge!

Brandon

 

really you will? finally i can sleep again. lol
