ok
i can rule out wires, timing and the like because that was all replaced not too long ago(pre-winter tuneup!)
to clarify some, if i go out and start it up now, it will run but i think maybe 1 or 2 cylinders ane NOT firing because i can visibly see rich exhaust smoke coming from the tailpipes. it becomes even more obvious if i 'gun' it. if i go to drive it,, again it will run but not run cleanly--misfires at certain RPMs its only when it gets hot does the thing really start to backfire and totally go nutso! if im lucky enough to make it off to the side of the road, ill shut it off for a few, then go back and start it and again, it runs 'semi-ok' UNTIL it :
a)gets hot again
b)i really load the engine down--ie accelerate under power
if afraid to drive this thing until i get it figured out--tired of walking.......in snow that is LOL
thanks again dave for yr input
