Very Rough 89
One of those things that goes bump in the night apparently got to my vehicle while I was sleeping last nite.
I started it to drive to work this morning after it sat in the garage for a week and it shook, rattled and smoked. It has been running great up to today.
Its one of those situations that it is running so poorly that I don't even know where to start. Would condensation in the gas be the cause?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The only time something like that happened to me, it was because a mouse had chewed through ignition wires.. You can hook up a scanner and also check for codes.. You may also want to disconnect the battery cable for a few minites to reset the ecm, this will reset everything, sort of like rebooting your home computer when it loads wrong...
...Good Luck......WW

Update
I started the ole girl when I arrived home from work last night and she ran fine without any of the issues experienced that morning. I can only guess that she got up on the wrong side of the bed and was cranky.
Just for jollies I dumped some drygas in. Drove it to work today and it ran fine.
Go figure!
Thanks much for your feedback.
