Ok so I go out to start my talon after after work and it Dosent start up like she normally does. Just seemed to miss fire right away. Then the idle is complete crap. Sputtering all over the place just down right horrible. My AFR was a tiny bit lean but not bad. It's super sluggish to rev, sputtering and farting everywhere. Fuel pressure is normal I checked that on the Gage. I know I have a leaky capacitor, could this be it finally dead? It's been slowly getting a miss fire over the last few weeks at idle. I'm going to check my timing right now
I've noticed louder than normal lifter tick, slowly turned Into a noticeable lifter knock only at 3k rpms, 3400 it goes away. I'm going to check all my lifters too, could a impacted lifter cause this too? What makes me think this could be it too is on the way home it wasn't pulling any vacuum at all, hardly half what it normally does, and wasn't building any boost. Was just fine when I parked it in the morning. Pretty weird
