Runs smooth now. No hesitation at all.
So do we know which of those parts actually solved the problem?

I'm checking my scorecard, and can't claim points if it was the ignition amps that got you going.

I am going to say amps were the main cause so you get credit. Coil were pretty nasty looking so they weren't helping anything. Won't go anything but Bosch anymore for things like that.

FWIW, I'd have long ago run out of wall space if I framed and tried to explain every stupid purchase that added no value. Some of this stuff might actually suck value out of the process, since one is easily tempted to cross off those parts as possible causes; after all, they were replaced with new stuff!


I often wish I was actually as smart as I thought I was.
That is an interesting idea. It would serve as a reminder for me to think about my part choices. I might even scratch an "F" over the "H" on "Huco" to remind me of what will happen if I don't stick with quality parts.

Sunken Ditch... I didn't have ignition amps on my list, so the points go to someone else.

Good thing nobody is really keeping score on this stuff! I wouldn't have anything left after Double Jeopardy!
