Thumbs down Question: Ignition Breakup??

What will make your car have ignition breakup. I recently saw this video and he said it had ignition breakup, and thats EXACTLY how my car sounds in higher rpms.... Would the timing being off cause this or do i have a weak coil or wires or something.... My plugs, and wires are new so i dont think thats the prob, but i cant get my timing right cause my idle wants to stay above 1200 rpms. soo wat will cause this???

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...62026996&hl=en Here is the Vid of the car that sounds just like mine....

Thanx

Set your timing so it is correct. The idle issue is another issue.

I would rather have correct timing and a high idle. Than incorrect timing and a good idle.

Unless all you do is idle the car :P

Yes, incorrect timing will cause break up .

And you can set your timing at what ever rpm floats your boat.

I think that is where / why you jumper the initial set connector.

Do you have a hayes manual?
