Re: IS MY EAGLE DEAD???



A: Sounds like you may have had an ignition box go south on you. Or the gas 
line has frozen up (a spoonful of gas in the carb will let it start and run 
till the gas is gone) Gas line antifreeze is your friend in that kind of 
weather.

I am the owner of an 84 Eagle,191,000+ miles, 258, auto, it's my work car 
and has been very dependable thoughout the last 4 Chicago winters, well 
today I think she died, our temps have been -5 to +10 F. the last 4 days I 
left her sit outside for those days without starting until yesterday, she 
fired right up and I ran her for 30 min or so, got up this morning started 
her up and let it idle for 15 min.went to leave and all it does is pop 
through the carb. I have checked evrything I can think of, pulled the valve 
cover and checked the pushrods,rockers,and springs, even cranked her over 
and have plenty of oil, did a compression check and the readings are between 
125 and 145, checked the cap and its clean plugs are a little black but not 

bad. I hate to retire her but.....any help?? Thanks.
