88 1st gen intermittant miss.
Hola!
my 88 first gen, 3.0 auto, just started an intermittent miss today. What could be causing this? it will run smooth for a while, then start missing, then smooth...
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance,

when was the last tune done on the truck?
I would start with that:
New spark plugs, cap and rotor and possibly fresh oil.
Check your airfilter aswell.
How old is your fuel filter?

I did a full tune, turned out to be a bad spark plug wire, grounding on the block. With new cap and rotor, wires, etc, I don't know but it seems like it's running better than it has since I bought it...
