Well, with the car running, I'm loving it to bits. Will love it even more when I'm able to find the time and money to get the Maximum Motorsports coilovers and a watts link.

Anyways, there's a few things that have been bugging me about the car.

1st: Whenever I put the car into fifth, it just convulses badly. I can't even flipping accelerate in this gear because it just vibrates too damn bad. Doesn't do it in any other gear, just fifth. Is this normal? I can accelerate in 5th without vibrating but not til it's about 1900rpms or more.

2nd: The car has a very slight miss when cruising in any gear at any rpm. It's more noticeable at low rpms though. What could this be? I have timing set at 14degrees, new wires, new plugs, and the distributor is only 1 and a half years old. What could be going on there? It's just a slight miss that is only there during cruising. Not there at all at idle nor when WOT.

3rd: Today I noticed my oil pressure wasn't at it's normal 25-30psi at idle. It was around 15-20. I panicked but the car seemed fine. Is this normal for it to be this low at warm idle? Am I going to be looking at a new oil pump or block soon? Oil used is 10w-30 RP.

Thanks in advance you guys!

 

did you clean the injectors, if the car sat for any period of time with fuel in it then the injectors stood a good chance to gum up.

 

Hm. Should I just run some good fuel injector cleaner through it or take the injectors off and clean them by hand?

 

fuel injectors cleaner cant hurt but a better cleaning if you take them out

 

Seafoamed the car. No more misfiring while cruising but the fifth gear problem still persists.

 

glad to hear seafoam fixed a lot of your problems. In terms of your fifth gear problem... read here:

I can understand having no power in fifth but vibrating the hell outta the car is a bit much.

 

back your timing back down to 13

 

Done. Took it to stock timing also. Same thing but it seems the range has dropped to 1100-1500rpms where it shakes like mad.

 

I was going more for the miss than the shakes.
