Subject:Still won't run right
From:Andy Morse

86 syncro....Ever since I adjusted the valves( I know I did them right, plug wires on are on the right spaces, new distributer cap, new plugs now, new fuel pump) I still haven't been able to get the van to run right. One moment I can get it running but doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders, then another time I can't keep it idling, another time it won't start. Before I adjusted the valves all was fine except for a finicky fuel pump, unless it was some other sypmtom. Gasoline is fresh.

I'm really beside myself, I just spent a sh*t load of time replacing the heater motor, brake lines, brake master cylinder, new battery, new starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor cap, plugs, oil change....and all of the sudden it doesn't run anymore, I am so puzzled at this one! ok whining over....

Looking forward to getting away from it for a few days, going camping in a tent with my two year old daughter and wishing I had done CFC!

Thanks for any suggestions!
