Re: Water pump going bad replace Optispark?
Well, this is a kind of damn if you do, damn if you don't issue.....
Why is the car misfiring? Plugs? Wires? Coil? Coil wire? Or is it the distributor cover/rotor? Has the vehicle ever been tuned up? If so, when was the last one? Are the wires original(have cylinder numbers on them,)?
If it is the distibutor cover, you have to remove the w/p and the harmonic balancer......
If you just replace the w/p, and still have the misfire, and it turns out to be the cap, you end up doing it all over again(w/p).....
this is just like when Firebirds needed complete turneups, and you gave the customer the estimate, and they almost passed out......I would always recommend a new w/p(I just want a tuneup, why are you replacing my w/p?), if it had never been replaced, because you don't want that old one put back in and then leak on that new cap....
Just like the Roadmaster, the plugs and wires are a nightmare....
So since you have a misfire, you have to ask yourself one question:"Do you feel lucky, punk?"
