Runnin rough again

[Ameer Antar]

check your contacts, especially on the ignition coil. I had intermittent 
problems due to dirty coil primary contacts. Do a tune-up...all-around 
inspection. Check temp sensors. Change the o2 sensor if it's old...[older 
than 30k for single-wire type]. Also really look close for vac. leaks. 
They're quite common, but hard to spot...the only real way to know is to 
pull each intake hose and check it in the light. Often the cracks are where 
you can't see them, like under the hose clamp. good luck.
