    this replacement of the syncro will most likely not cure your issue. it is usually a secondary spark issue that causes this. have the plugs, wires and coil tested first. basics first before any other parts.

    We have replaced spark plugs, wires, coil, injectors and it still does it. no codes just started changing the different things. 3 mechanics have worked on it
