its not just about doing the easy things first,
its more about actually doing some troubleshooting first.
BUT, start troubleshooting the easy things first.

I see so many on here that just replace parts first then ask questions later.


an example,
my 2.7 would not run good past 4500, lots of spark knock.
even though It took me probably 2 years to fix it (I did not work on it a whole lot and It just made me drive slower).
the ONLY thing it came down to was the fuel distributor. I tested EVERYTHING else. I kept wanting to replace it but I said no, keep troubleshooting.
finally I tested fuel flow and found a restriction in one of the fuel lines to an injector. I replaced the $10 line and it ran like a scaled dog.
in all my testing I also found the cams were advanced 15 degrees.

move on to my 930, I kept thinking the FD was good, even after having it rebuilt.
finally replaced it and that fixed it.

but in the mean time I learned CIS inside and out
