Hello All,
Wanted to firstly introduce myself to the forum, I currently have an 88 Fleetwood Brougham, have owned a 95 LT1 Caprice classic and am now considering getting into a 96 Fleetwood Brougham with 120k (I miss the LT1 fun).
So I'm very interested in a local car, the owner is reporting a misfire. He went to pep-boys and they gave him the code, which he didn't remember before you ask. He also said that he just put in a brand new radiator (maybe leaked on the optispark when re-filling coolant?)
So what should I do first? try and let the optispark dry out/ wd40 in the vacuum holes? go straight for the optispark? plugs and wires?
I think I can get a good deal on this car, but don't want to jump into anything that is going to need a huuuggge amount of work. What else could potentially be causing a misfire?
I've been reading this forum for the past few days now and am very impressed with how much knowledge there is out there and how much people truly love their cars.
I figure this car could be a compromise between the weedy 307 engined Fleetwood I have and the piece of s11t Ford Focus I have to stomach!
