[Shotimes] engine problem, please help with diagnosis

[James White]

Two years ago, the '93MTX was doing similar things, and wouldn't pass
emission testing.  I went nuts (well more nuts than I already am..) swapping
parts and buying new ones.  The last one was the Baro Sensor.  Installing a
new one curred all of the problems and it passed emissions!

"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
