Loosing Cylinders Under Load

[JoeliusZ28]

Ya Joel, very similar to that but my car don't shake.

mine was only shaking because i had it stabbed at 1500 RPM in 6th gear, which I was only doing briefly to demonstrate the engine being down a few cylinders

but yea - I almost gaurantee its your plug wires. I went through 2 sets of aftermarket OTVC wires before i learned my lesson and bought some delcos that actually work worth a damn... like the ones i took off in the first place

So while youre missing and dropping cylinders at low rpm. but mine is dropping at higher rpm. mainly after 4g with a cold engine(sometimes it doesnt miss at all),and anywhere from 2g-3g on a warm engine. all ive had time to do so far is to change the filter, and check the lines from the tank to the filter. those are all clear. and i checked the resistance on my resistors, my 6&7 injector are an ohm low. any thought on what would cause the reverse of the above mentioned problem? btw not trying to jack your post just trying to find answers

high rpm missing is often a sign of a failing opti - however its not the opti if it is a particular cylinder.

So new wires you think.
I can deal with that

yep, a set of delcos, some zip ties, and a half hour later all my grief went away. getting that problem fixed made me almost as happy as the cam swap... between the 2 sets of wires and a new opti, i wasted an easy $600 on that gremlin that never should have even existed in the first place.

I was so excited i cruised woodward with the old OTVC wires still hanging there

yea but hey at least my experience has been useful in helping others, cause no one ever gave me that suggestion.
