Greg,
I was hoping you had this sorted. If it is getting worse it sounds like
something is coming loose or breaking down.
I had problems with the Jacobs wires. The place up here that sold them to me
said there were lots of problems and they quit selling them because of it.
(I am running Aurora now)
I would try another brand of wires. Borrow something from another
car....?.......
