Re: to all 16v listers!!





Check your ignition timing and your cam timing. I know you say that your 
timing has not been touched. How do you know this? How old are your spark 
plug wires and what makes you think that they are OK? How much fuel do you 
have? Is there water in it? Take a sample. see if you have agua.
