It started out as a simple job--valve stem seals, 1.6 roller rockers with new valve springs, ProForm valve covers, waterpump, air conditioning compressor, ATF cooler. Unfortunately, I had arm surgery two years in a row. Other things came up so the car sat unattended without coolant (I'm going to do a few flushes in the near future).

This last year, we sold our house so I had to finish the job. Still have to get the air conditioning working again, but the engine is running strong (133k miles). Never realized how much I missed the torque and acceleration of a V8.

Everything seems in order during city driving, accelerating, decelerating. But, I have something that feels like misfire on highway cruise. You step into it and it goes away. You get off the throttle, and everything's okay. What could it be? EGR, charcoal canister purge, spark (knock sensor?), fuel???

Is the gas fresh ? Filter ? Just guessing here but 2 years sitting can be worse than 2 years driving.
