Re: [T3] I definitely hate FI!

["Jacob Hoffman" <cobyhoff@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I just had something very similar happen to me after taking my engine out 
and putting it back in on the 4th.  Turns out the 3-wire connector for the 
FI points on the distributor had come apart.  2 of the wires had worn enough 
to break loose from the connectors mostly.  The car was acting like it was 
missing a little while cruising at 60mph.  I was afraid something was wrong 
with the auto trans catching or something horrible like that, because I had 
just adjusted the bands.  Anyhoo, I wiggled those wires while idling and the 
engine missed, so I jammed some pins into the connector to temporarily hold 
the wires in until I could solder them.  I'm sure your problem is different, 
because they always are, but maybe somehow this will help.  Maybe I just 
like seeing my name on the list.  :)
