1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 5.7L Poor Idle Quality, Hesitation, Stall, Misfire
Posted to GM Driveability on 11/21/2002 9 Replies

will start but will not stay running untill engine worms up. after it worms up it idles good but when accelerated quickly it back fires through the air intake, and also hesitates. found that when accelerated quickly the timing drops instead of advancing.
