[T3] Stock cylinder kits

Well let me know if they turn up, I don't need them right away, I haven't
even pulled that engine yet.

The miss with the Mark 10 got MUCH less when I put the new electronic VR on
there, but there is still some at low RPM's and at times the idle is a
little ratty.  Its almost something you might not notice now unless your
paying attention or pooping along in heavy traffic at low RPM.

I drove it today with the M10 on and I noticed it, Im going to switch it off
and see how it does then, when I drive it again... but that may not be till
Saturday.  Im not sure what to try next though, maybe a filter on the power
input of the FI, which I suspect is whats not working quite right.  I might
try grounding the shield on the cable going to the Mark 10 too...

The Cruise control consistently gets knocked off without the Mark 10 though
but with it, no problems at all.

Keith

Well, I looked and I can't find them. It's possible that I threw them 
out 20 years ago, but I don't think so. They may still show up in 
another corner of my mess.

I thought the miss disappeared once you replaced the worn out VR, or 
was that a different car?
