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... :/ |
