Agreed. What robinhood did was bad. Sure, a few podcatsts tried to make sense of the process, but it was only speculation.

90% chance it is one of 2 things.
Cheapest, easiest and a good idea to do anyway: Replace the spark plug wires with decent quality ones. Pull/clean and/or replace spark plugs while you are at it.

I'm an old man now. Fought in two wars, two marriages, had 3 retirements and many rough and beautiful miles. (and I still fantasize about handing out arse kickings to those in need!)
Over all these years there are two common things (apart from women) which I feel like an idiot for never really gr...

I'm compelled to comment on the OT responses on this thread. Typically, the OT is going to roast anyone posting personal problems.
The OP posting here certainly knows this, but likely out of desperation is seeking input from like minded people.
The OT is consistent in being civil when it comes...
