I posted a question about a recent addition to my family. It is an 88 t-coupe. It was cutting out, idling erratic, and not getting full boost. Well...I believe I/we figured it out.
The car had a major vacuum leak (explains why the old plugs looked white and blistered). After I plugged it, I drove it and the miss was CONSIDERABLY better! Once I got it home, I opened the hood again and noticed a hissing noise. It turns out that one of my injectors is leaking (hence, the smell of fuel from the engine bay!). I am assuming that the rest of the miss is because of that. Right? Also, is there just an O-ring I can replace or is this an excuse to go ahead and upgrade to larger injectors? I have not replace the Bosch wires yet, but I will get the new ones tommorrow (Friday) and put them on the car.
Thanks for the suggestions and help with this minor problem. I look forward to starting to turn everything up!
Have a good day!
