- I would start by taking out the air filter and see how it runs. A cloged filter will cause a problem like you describe. ...Art

- Usually a good suggestion but, in the case of Zenith-Stromberg-equipped cars, not a good idea. The Z-S is jetted so that it will run really poorly without the air cleaner element in place and all the

- How could th EGR valve (which allows some exhaust gas back into the intake) make the engine use oil? Stuck open will cause a poor lumpy idle, stuck closed will normaly cause no symptoms. Getting back
