Hello all
my nova has developed a problem. since sunday it has struggled to idle and when driving along at lower speeds with little throttle the engine seems to splutter/missfire. however it stars and runs with the choke just fine and runs ok when accelerating. i have checked the distributor cap, rotor arm & spark plugs and all seems to be ok. did a compression test today and the results were:
no 1 - 230 psi
no 2 - 230 psi
no 3 - 240 psi
no 4 - 240 psi
to me those seem a little high but i cant seem to find any reference for what they should be.
any thoughts/ideas would be a help.
thanks,
Andrew
