What a difference a few degrees makes. 33F here this morning and it went into lean burn like a dream compared to lately. Its still not running right though. I still get some surging of power while accelerating, and lean burn is still a bit bucky. I'm wondering if those rusty ignition coils have anything to do with it. I'll have to check their resistance, but I'm also wondering if the rust delaminating the layers a bit effects things that much...
In any case, I'm more so and more so looking forward to getting this car under the knife to fix the things wrong with it. I am loving it, but the little quirks can be fairly annoying. I don't think I mentioned it here before, but the previous owner(s) must have abused the clutch and it shudders a good amount while taking off. Its on the list of things to replace when I pull the trans to fix the synchros and input shaft bearing.
