In a previous post I have mentioned that a clutch adjustment wasn't the problem. I've just changed the fuel filter....not the solution either!? I've used fuel system cleaner.
Does one have a check list that I can resort to assure that I can remedy this miss I have.
The car is a 79 242, 2.1 ltr, 4sp. Newer normal plugs, , newer ignition wires, cap and rotor.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
out of ideas

Kevin,
On the fuel side check:
Cold start injector for leaks.
Intake manifold for leaks.
Control pressure.
On the ignition side check:
Faulty spark plug.
Cracked distributor cap.
Worn advance mechanism.
Incorrect timing.
Poor earth connections.

Plugs are good
cap is good
vac advance is good
What's a cold start injector? Would this still affect an hour trip?
What's control pressure?
Don't hear leaks.
I'll double check all above again. I'll just go over the list...thanks

The cold start injector is an extra injector which should only come into play on a cold start. It fits directly into the intake manifold, held in by two screws. If it leaks during normal running it will put extra fuel straight into the intake manifold and really screw up performance.
To test it the engine must be cold. Remove it from the manifold, but leave the fuel and electrical supplies connected.
Hold the injector over a glass jar, switch on the ignition and run the starter motor.
The cold start injector should spray fuel into the jar for about 12 seconds at an engine temperature of - 20C (-4F). Higher temperatures decrease the injection time which will cease completely above +35C (95F).
If the injection does not stop disconnect the injector wiring plug and repeat the test. If fuel comes out without the plug connected the injector is faulty.
The control pressure regulator controls the fuel pressure in relation to the engine temperature during the warm up period. (A bit like a choke on a carburettor).
To test the control pressure requires a pressure testing guage and is usually not feasible as a DIY job.

Had an inde look at it.
He changed the plugs. Claimed the Autolite 64s were the wrong ones. New air cleaner and cleaned one of the air tubes coming from the throttle body. Lubricated the throttle body/linkage. Changed oil and pass side tie rod. (advised of the loose tie rod)
Everything else looked new.
Runs like a champ.
