[T3] gas mileage, voltage, etc.

[William J]

Based on what you are wrote and now have the reverse of what you had before 
it seems there may be some issue with the trigger points either sticking 
which from what I've read should cause the engine to stop running yet I 
can't verify that as probable . To me it would seem that if one pair of 
injectors either stuck closed or more likely open the 2 cylinders would have 
no fuel injection or fuel delivery . Do you recall which lead on the trigger 
points you tightened first and then today . If they follow with ones that 
got no fuel the white plugs then I would check the trigger points . The out 
side ones would be the ones on the connector the center one is ground so it 
would not run at all.

 I have no idea how old your trigger points are yet it seems operating temp 
has an affect on how much better or worse it runs. It's possible since you 
verified rechecking the plug wires and then pulled each injector plug and 
the rpm dropped that the plugs are now fouled again. I would think that 
would clear once driven yet it didn't. You had a backfire before seems 
that's gone.

 I don't see any harm in just pulling the distributor and taking a look at 
the trigger points and taking a close look at the cap and rotor and to make 
certain the rotor snaps back and the dist advance cam is not binding.

 That's all I have to offer for what it's worth might very well be worth 
nothing.
