    Are you seeing any Service Engine Soon (SES) or Check Engine light indications? If so, what is the code(s) ?

    Does it do it when it is hot or cold under a load or what. I would just about bet it is your opti spark.

    I hate to keep saying it but look under it and see if it is wet around the crank seal. I would almost bet it's the opti spark. That is really th only problems those cars have. We had about 5 guys in a month have that problem.

    Your probably lookin about 300 for parts and then close to the same if you can't do it yourself.
