[Gorilla Unit 33]

After replacing the distributor and setting it up all right, we get the car running. Still sounds like a slight miss is going on but i hop in the car and take it for a ride around the block. when doing so the first 20 seconds is fine. give it about 40% throttle feels fine, then right back to ****ty idle and a hard miss starts again.... I didnt get it, until john had explained a little something we may have looked over. the compression test would show fine accross all the cyls, but when the car was running with a ****ty idle you pull the plug wire on cyl 3 and it stayed the same, not changing or getting worse. Basically pointing out the fact that when you do a compression test oil can go down into the cyl, helping create a seal since its not being burned off and can like so make a a fine reading on the gauge, but when the motor is on and the oil is burning creating no compression in the 3cyl.

ok so not that anyone cares but....

ok after replacing everything, spark plugs, wires, ignition coil,and distributor, We have came to the conclusion that my #3 cyl is shot, and its time for a new motor. No clue how this happened, the motor has always ran strong for me and i never did anything wrong to make it die on me like this...
