My celi would always start up within one second of turning over, but suddenly it would sometimes require as many as 5 or 6 tries to get going lately. Once it did get going, however, it would be fine.

Today when I got it to start the idle was extremely erratic. It would be stable for a few seconds then randomly bog down 300-600 rpm with a corresponding kickback in the exhaust. When it kicks back, the engine shudders. Also, sometimes when turning over the electricity sometimes dies for a bit, almost like a flat battery, then suddenly comes back again, like a perfectly fine battery. The voltmeter says there's plenty of juice.

There's no CEL and no codes.

I replaced the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. The leads, battery and fuel filter are only about 2 years old. I verified the ignition timing not long ago. I suspect a bad distributor, as I also noticed oil seepage under the cap. What do you guys think, and how much is a remanufactured distributor for my vintage?

Cheers.

CHEERS Sydney

Unless you're prepared to spend BIG (I'm talking say a $10k budget), don't bother. There is a decent amount of work required to go into a NA 3S build, but the gains can be up there if you do it right.

Exhaust and extractors won't give you much more than say 5fwkw, if you want to make big power you'll need a full forged + raised compression rebuild with absolutely everything toleranced and lightened. If you're racing them and just starting out, I would be spending my money on upgrading brakes and suspension first. The brakes and stuff from a ST165 should bolt right up, if you want to more out look at ST185/ST205 stuff. I don't know if it will be a bolt on deal, but it will fit. Start stripping interior bits you don't need, get some decent aftermarket seats then go all out with sway bars and strut braces.

Building a race car isn't anywhere as easy as people think it is, and will cost twice as much as any estimate.

thx for the help i alrdy have stripped all the interior and and we found a nice 3sgte engine we mite buy and put in it
