I have checked all the sparkplugs and they are all firing properly and are gapped correctly. I have checked the resistances of all sparkplug wires and they are correct. The distributor and crank angle sensor look fine. My mechanic had it for two days and couldn't find anything. They thought that it might be the crank angle sensor, but for $650 I want them to be sure. Any ideas on what I should check before forking over the cash? Thanks for your help.
Engine problems. Very poor starting when cold (>12hrs.). Sputters and hesitates from stop signs when cold. Car has stalled three times when coasting. Dieseling for a couple turns sometimes after key is turned off. Idling is sometimes quite high, 1500 RPM, instead of usual 800 RPM even after warmed up. Lower horsepower and gas mileage. Throttle response is hesitant under 2500 RPM. These problems have slowly developed over the past year.
