Hey guys.
My friend bought a 89 ea spack, manual, 3.9 The problem he is having is when the car gets to operating temperature and the thermostat opens up it runs like crap, coughs and splutters, But if he revs it over 2 grand the problem dissapears He has replaced alot of things. map sensor, thermo sensor,all of the vaccum lines etc Put a brand new thermostat in and it still does the same thing Even had the ecu looked out and theres nothing wrong with it. If any one would have a idea of what might be cuasing it, would be good

sounds like a ignition problem to me like the coil is stuffing up once it gets warm/hot
