Re: Fuel ratio oddly fixed

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Aren't you stoked when you FINALLY get your car running perfect after so
many frustrating hours?? :) God, I spent about 6 months with a misfire I
could NOT figure out, I replaced distributor, wires, etc.. 2 days ago, I
replaced the old crusty idle screw o-ring and the vacuum hoses, that helped
a bit, not completely though, and then yesterday I checked the coil (i
thought i checked it b4..) and there were carbon tracks down the tower! I
threw in my msD Blaster and voila! the car ran like NEW! I swear It has
15-25 more horsepower! It kicks ass now, I raced my friends 280zx-turbo (14
sec car)  and we were totally even until 90 mph, what a difference :) I had
to share that since it seems you had a similar experience 

I know exactly how ya feel
