Re: [T3] Intermittent loss of power


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I would guess something electrical, possible loose connection either in the
ignition system or the FI system.
Intermittant problem are a pain in the ass to find, especially if they occur
rarely. I would check timing, points, plugs, plug wires, etc.
