Misfire at high rpms!
Misfire at high rpms!
So i've been having this problem for awhile and i've been trying to look around and find answers but i have not found anything for it. My car misfires and hesitates at rpms higher than 4-5k when the throttle is more than 50% open. It was new wires and the plugs are all in good shape. I was having the problem before and replaced the dizzy to one equivalent to OEM. The problem stopped then started again after taking my car on a 2 hour long road trip. Theres no code for a misfire but there is a lack of power and the tach needle floats at the higher rpm. What else is there to check or do?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Look for loosely fitting terminals on the igniter, or maybe someone missed a spade when they connected the wires to the igniter.
See this TSB; ignore the codes listed......read the repair procedures

im gonna take apart the distributor today and look at that thanks! and the needle on the tach will just jump around after 5k, (it wil just go up down say like to 8k and drop to 6k but the motor will misfire but slowly increase it wont steadliy increase.) It seems like it takes forever to hit the limiter.
