Hi guys,

I just started my car today and it started right away. Instantly I noticed that the Vaccums were at 12inhg which is quite low and the car was idling rough... So took the plugs out to find one plug had oil and fuel on it... I changed the plug and the car started up better and I got 18inhg stable idle but not for long within 5 minute of idling the problem came back and the car become rough and vaccums dropped to 10inhg and the car wanted to dye...

Where should I start... I am using a power fc and my knock sensor is also not worrking.. Will work on that monday...

Any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

Did you do the rebuild or a shop? If you did it did you mess with the adjustment of the secondaries?

Just to update. Problem was the plug wires were not in sequence and the old plugs that I was using were all in bad shape. Got a new set of plugs and the car is running great now pulling 17-18inhg...
