It’s an 89 and it has been running great lately.
Every day for the past couple months I have been driving with the AC on 98% of the time.
Today I drove with out the AC off all day.
After work (drove for 15 minutes) I stopped at the body shop that is going to fix my hail damage (car off for 15 minutes)
When leaving the body shop the car started normal and when I went to shift from 1-2 the car the tachometer dropped to 0 and the car sputtered and went back to normal. It did this 2 more times (stopped shifting from 1-2 gently)in fewer than 5 minutes.
I pulled over checked the crank pulley for wobbles / the bolt and messed with the plugs connected to the DIS. Then I drove the car for another 10 minutes and no matter what I did it didn’t do it again and it's running strong
I had the crankshaft sensor replaced a little over a year a go when the balancer broke off.
I was thinking that the AC was keeping the DIS cool and since I didn’t use it today the DIS is over heating?
Also the DIS Has a crack in it's top over the word DIS and it has never been changed. car has 123k
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
