Great story and some excellent troubleshooting work there.
I can't count the amount of times that I've witnessed or heard about guys throw out good stuff and buying new stuff in its place in hopes of solving a problem without really knowing what the problem was to begin with.
Carbs, fuel pumps, coils, distributors, alternators, heads, valve jobs, engines, transmissions...you name it....the list and the money spent is 5 miles long.
Its always worth it to figure it out and its always way more interesting. However it takes those great attributes....(wait for it)....patience and ability!...lol......often in short supply when it comes to guys working on stuff.


By the same convention I will not let any repair facility proceed with any work on our (newer) vehicles without telling me specifically what the problem is.
....show me the exact point of failure...or no deal....this 're and re' stuff (remove and replace) until the vehicle starts to apparently run better doesn't work for me.

Great to hear you solved it tho' without dumping money.

All good
