Just replaced the original head gaskets on my 87 Gold. Things went well, car starts and runs reasonably well. Problems: 1) If I connect the cold start injector, the car is hard to start. So for now its disconnected and she starts fine. 2) Under acceleration car has a small shudder until it reaches 2,700-3,000 RPM and then it runs very smoothly.
I've cleaned up the distributor contacts, checked the grounds but can't get the shudder to subside. I can also hear a small backfire occasionally, I believe in the plenum when the car is cold. I will replace the plugs today just in case they are compromised from the head gasket failure. Other than that, any ideas?
