Ignition question: voltage from coil. - 04/09/11 10:10 PM
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem that's plagued my car forever. The throttle response in normal driving has always been flat, that is it seems to labor slightly at part throttle. It is also hard starting regardless of outside temperature. Once it fires it acts as if it has fouled plugs and doesn't settle down until it's good and warm and then it has a very slight shake that is rhymthic (it comes and goes). This is the third motor I've had in this car over it's life and it's always been there. I've always ran an electronic ignition. I've replaced carbs/distributors/coils/wires/ecmu's(?)and it has gotten better. I've tried all the normal carb/timing/advance adjustments and only have one more thought...am I getting the proper voltage to the plugs. How do I measure and what is the proper amount?
It's a RB/500ci w/ MP distributor and proform carb w/ auto.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
