missing

Post by Geoffo » Sun Mar 18, 2007 10:23 pm

1988 MPFI, missing at idle and can feel it having the occasional cough when moving. At idle it will eventually miss and stop. Sometimes when cold, if accellerate hard, backfires as if starved for fuel. Have been advised it may be the engine temperature sensor. Any ideas?

Also is it feasible to swap over an EFI motor for a carby version?
