Well a month ago my Typhoon started having a miss under light throttle and the progressed to barely ideling or running at all. This problem progressed from slight miss to
all out mess in two days and about thirty miles of driving. I looked into the usual vac leek,
fuel filter,plugs,wires,cap,rotor. All of these were replaced. I replaced the TPS. I cleaned the cold air valve nothing helped. I moved on to the ignition and bypassed the MSD 6 box
and bam the truck ran fine. I let her idle for a while then shut the hood and poof the truck dies. WTF. Must be a loose connection or bad ground. I checked every wire ground and all. They were all good.Uhh!!. Then I looked at the distributor cap and thought "lets look aat this quickly. I removed the cap and noticed alot of corrosion in there. Wiggled the module and tried to steart the truck. Fired right up. Shut her down and went in for the night. Next day truck starts I drive work fine after work try to start nothing WTF.Tap them dizzy and twist it a little the truck starts. I decided to buy a new MSD box and Dizzy.
I replaced both and the truck runs flawlessly.I went with the MSD pro billett dizzy.
After looking at the drive gear of the old distributor I noticed a good amount of wear(knife edging) I am glad I changed the Distributor although I think all my issues were due to the ignition. The in cap module had a bad ground due to the corrosion in the cap. I am glad that the truck runs well and very happy to get a little better acquainted with this machine.
All these good fealings were short lived as I walking through the shop to admire my work I
noticed a wet spot under the truck drivers side front right under the methanol res. Yep
looks like meth leak and more together time for me and my Ty. Yahoo!.:lol:
