ignition. ignition stumble. problem solver

well. finnaly after tuning tuning,. having stumble problems i finnaly cured it.

i think i drove this beats about 200 miles now,, and at WOT is really ran goood, but everytime under low throttle i had this bogging, missfire happen, these parts are under 200 miles. so..i changed plugs 3 times. toook alky kit off, (maybe sucking alky at low throttle) measure up my plugs, looked for vacuum leaks.
i was almost giving up on the low throtle part. but decided to swap the wires. problem stayed the same. and i couldn't believe it was the 200 miles cap and rotor. took them off, nothing bad to see. but installed a new one anyway.
problem solved! runs like a champ now on low throttle so i can finnaly cruise around in this.

i''m posting this because alot of people are having a hard time with these problems, and how easy it is to overlook these things. a 200 mile rotor that never functioned the way it should have. go figure. as for the brand.. it was the red stuff. now i installed the golden something.... the grey one.

hope this post will help some of you that you can never take thing for granted maintainting these trucks..
wooohaaa

Its been years now, but when I 1st got my truck and I did a complete tune-up on it. The cap and rotor were bad after a month running time or about 75 miles. The failure was in the cap where the coil wire plugs into. It was a Red Cap and rotor too.

Re: ignition. ignition stumble. problem solver

this was one of the last red caps i believe. or they are making them again? just raised the front of my truck a bit (coil overs) and found out my heatercore is shit....just when you think you solved it all. lol

I don't think they are making them anymore. This happen years ago on me.

Are you guys refering to an msd RED cap ? If so they still make them because I just bought one from summitt.

No, we are talking about the old Conrad cap and rotor. OR at least I am.

DaveP stated in an old post that syty's aren't as bad on ignition components as everyone makes them out to be. IIRC, he had like two or three years and multiple thousands of miles on whatever he was using at the time. Good luck finding it though. It probably got deleted...

Re: ignition. ignition stumble. problem solver

Evening, I am a new ty owner and I love it. I have a bad idle too but after a a complete tune up using all AC Delco parts and gapping the plugs at .035 (using the correct plugs from this site). I replaced several vaccum lines, cleaned the throttle body and even replaced the coil. I am suspecting the IAC but would like a little more input from some other SYTY owners. Thanks for all your help. How do you reset the the IAC???
