Re: [T3] running on 2 cylinders


<x-flowed>It's resolved! It was the spark plugs. I first took out the carb this am. The float bowl was full of gas. I removed the jet and confirmed it was clean. Then I held a small tube against the spot where the jet screws in, and blew to confirm the passage all the way up and out the venturi looked clean. So the carb is fine. I put the carb back in, but still had the same problem. Then I replaced the plugs on the left side, and that resolved it. I'm surprised, the plugs didn't look too bad. But I've never replaced them in time I've had the car (I got the car in September 2001), so I don't know how old they were, but at least 2 1/2 years. I went ahead and replaced the plugs on the right side as well. The car seems to be running great now...more power than before.

Thanks to everyone that gave me ideas in diagnosing this problem!
