Further testing has revealed that my temp sensor tests 850 ohms, instead of
the 2500 Haynes says.
Also, pulling the plug wire for cylinder #3 off the distributor has no
effect on engine when it is running at about 2000 RPM in park. Is this
likely the injector?
The refusing to start from a standing stop (bogs and engine almost dies,
until I can get it up to about 5 MPH) is temp related -- gets worse as
engine warms.
Overall power loss is not temp related. Warm or cold, it goes about 40
max, and takes 3/4 of a mile to get there.
Thanks to all of the people who have been telling me what to check. I have
learned my way around the engine a lot better today.
BTW, replaced all vacuum lines, but that didn't help.
Thanks again,
Bill
