Subject:87 Westi Sluggish (What to look for)
From:Don Record
Date:Sat, 15 Apr 2000 10:09:28 EDT

Hello All,
My wife and I have recently noticed that our 87 westi automatic is more
sluggish (than usual;-)  I can detect no obvious problem: missing, hard
starting etc.... It just seems to be a little down on power on the big hills
around our house.  In an aircooled van I would check the points to see if
they were starting to close, but we know thats not the problem...  I plan to
start with the usual tune-up stuff...cap, rotor, plugs....but any further
suggestions would be appreciated.
