Default Re: Lean Misfires at 2700-2800 rpm

Bob: I'll head back to the electronics place again and have the dwell tested. Another thing I'm going to do is try out your idea with the coolant resistor mod. I'm going to have them rig up a variable resistor (in line with my coolant sensor) so that way I can systematically "vary" the coolant temperature. Since this problem improves, to some degree, when the car is warm I think it'd be worthwhile to fool it into thinking it is only luke warm (120F to 165F) to see if the problem worsens. Then if the missing is unchanged, then this points to a mechanical cause.

Only problem is I don't have time to do this for at least a couple more weeks because of exams...

Edit: Anybody has an MSD-DIS4? I believe these units are supposed to increase dwell in the lower rpms.
