Engine missing, won't idle
My engine is missing and it won't idle, and the only way I have a chance at getting to 55 mph is by starting at the top of a BIG hill. Any ideas?

Re: Engine missing, won't idle
My father used to walk 10 miles to school uphill, both ways, My suggestion is that you find that school and live there.

Re: Engine missing, won't idle
If it has a bad idle that won't adjust, possibly a vacuum leak?

Intake bolts may have loosened up and that would also would explain the miss. |

Re: Engine missing, won't idle
Not only the engine is missing, but the exhaust manifolds are too

Probably a plugged fuel line.

Re: Engine missing, won't idle
You guys are missing it.
 It just needs the muffler bearings replaced.
