WME Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sounds like a trip to a distributor rebuild shop is needed. No advance will cause low power and bad MPG and may cause an engine to overheat. It must be fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORGE Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 WME: Thanks for your tip,I will replace the advance a.s.a.p.,the enginne is really strong,in the city I have no problems due the low traffic,but I like it work always o.k. in the highways too,so I'm working in the engine and in the interiors,is a long term project,but I hope some day proudly drive"the motor-hummer"like my son call it,(my 13 year old kid is fan of the HUMMERS and say the camper is "HUMMER"S GRANDPA") ,thanks again PROFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
