Im runing a 253 strate gas moter in my hux and she is missing under load at lo revs 1st 2nd a little in 3rd 4th all good unles you drop doun to 40kmh and load it up( Not that i drive like that but it just exaggerates the problem).:x
Have replaced nearly every thing that bolts onto wired to and plumbed to it to no resalt timing is right i have no prob with spark!
We have been plaing with gas mix and seams to not have much of an effect on the problem!

Thoughts?

Cherrs....

does it improve when the car warms up at all? Have you replaced the coil?

It was running warm and ticking a while a go, No motor tick but missing, still pulls hard at full stick!

Would a valve play up still at high revs?

good to see its sorted . just thought id ad if your still running points its well worth changing to electronic i had a 81 hilux with a 253 and changed it to electronic and the improvement was unbelievable .heeps more power and revs and water crossings didnt bother it as much .
