71832, Weird Happenings..read me Posted by EclipsedChef, Mar-31-04 05:01 AM
Well the car has been doing great today, the timing seems to be right on now and the plug gap of .050 is working out nicely. But alas, im still getting a slight miss in fourth and fifth gears after driving over an hour. Its not hesitation, but its like something isnt clicking right. Something weird i noticed while sitting at a stop light on the way back home though, with the windows up..i tried to roll them up again using both buttons and my rpms dropped like it was a strain on the electrical system. I tried it several times just to make sure i wasnt crazy and it did the same thing every time..at least a 200 rpm drop when i pull up on both of the window buttons. Are my grounds bad, or would a Dr1665 ground wire kit be the perfect answer for me? What could cause that drain, and could it also be causing the slight stuttering in fourth and fifth gears?

I'd start with an alternator and battery test and see if that's your problem first.

Then drop me a PM about those wires sir. ;) There is no problem that a gournd wire kit will fix. They are more for peace of mind imo than anything else. If they clean up your stereo noise, they are batting a thousand in my book. :thumbsup
