A couple quick questions October 20, 2014, 08:34:34 AM I've noticed a light miss in my engine. I've replaced plugs and wires, and cleaned the rotor out. at idle the led guage will move one degree back and forth. I can feel it as it does this, and at speed it's a little random vibration at times. I'm unsure whether this is due to timing issue, or I'm getting some random arching. The other possibility is dist positioning? Which on this vehicle I'm unsure how to do. my other question is oil chime. It happens semi-rarely, but will flash to the oil guage, and annoy me greatly. This happens when I gun it over 70, and, some times when I turn from a stop. Are these guages accurate in any manner? I know in other vehicles, the pressure sending unit was inaccurate and retarded; is this the case with the Thunder/Cougars as well? Quote Selected

A couple quick questions Reply #2 – October 21, 2014, 07:25:23 AM Dont take the chance put a mechanical gauge on it and read the Pressure. The miss normally wont set codes. Unless the SES light is on reading codes is not necessary. But try it . Quote Selected
