hi - quick question from the garage. cdi box died on my six. got replacement and car starts right up (good). but runs like crapola right away. pulled the plugs and on two the electrode (term?) is no touching the plug.
is this why my cdi boxed died? or is this a result of it dying? or? plugs were 1k miles old. cdi box was 46 years old. |
