i went to adjust my idle by the screw and to the touch i feel a slight shocking charge, not to bad. but still not normal. my sparkplug wires are new and tucked away not touching... any ideas where this might be comming from?

also, i am in need of getting my car smogged soon, and suggestions on passing.. i read after searching that i could bump back the timing, lower idle... is there a way i could check my timing without a timing light?

Check spark plug to if there cracked.

take a multi-meter and figure out how much voltage and current you are passing through the motor, If its higher than 12v, you have a problem with your ignition system.

im going to check now with a multimeter, i dont think its my sparkplugs (new) or wires (new) or their placement in the engine bay...

so i just went to check it and its not doing it anymore. next time it happens ill measure it.

i let the car run for a little to warm up while i tested it, when i turned the car off i hear a dripping sound, like water driping into more water sort of thing. except i dont think its water, it was comming from around the upper intake i think... any ideas?
