We just had are 2nd engine in this car, but I notice that when it is cold it runs find, but when it hot it misses, the engine temp is ok ( not running hot ) I have replace the spark plug wires but that did not help. The reason we had to replace the motor we lost the number 2 cyclinder, so we replace the motor.
