    No need for discretion.

      I had a similar problem and it ended up being poor grounding; added another ground from the block to the chassis and it resolved itself.

        No, and it has become more intermittent so it's impossible to troubleshoot. It only misses once every 50 miles or so of driving, but it's a big miss - it cuts out for a full second or two.

        I'm thinking it could possibly be my shady c101 wiring. I have the early rectangle connector which has been a problem since I did the swap.

          ever figured it out?
          Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

          Trust me it stock :yawn:

            Flaky c101 connector.
