Hey all
Just a question, My gemini seems to sometimes make a *knock* noise when I am driving alone. It did it the other night so I drove home real slow and when i got home I wiggled all the leads and took the dizzy cap off, blew it out a bit and then it was fine for the rest of the nite. Is it likly to be the leads??? could they be shorting out? I'd know for sure but I dunno about this noise it makes. doesn't sound too good at all! Any help would be appreciated

| It doesn't have to be cold for this to happen either, and it doesnt have to be out to high RPM. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be under load... :/ |
