1. Check ignition timing.

4. Get a shop to set mixture using an exhaust gas analyzer. A lot of SC owners disconnect the O2 sensor (and still pass emissions).


Thanks. I've heard that the vacuum advance under the rotor can get sticky, so I'll check that out as one of the first things. I planned on going through the whole car, just wasn't expecting it have a problem the day I took it home. I'll advise.
