ebo said: OK saved today to put the plugs back in the car, went in much easier than expected.
started it up and it sounded pretty good. Let it get warm and took it out for a spin, no hesitation, no skips, no chirping sound (have no clue how a bad plug would cause that).
Also when in reverse no whistle......so nice to have it running good again!

Am it possible, Mr. Albo, that one(or more) of yer plugs were loose? A loose plug could cause the noises you were hearin...an engine miss could also create a chirp from an exhaust leak, if you have/had one.

Just throwing stuff out dere....Wink
