Default Mid range mis

New to the forum so be gentle. I just got a 1995 ssei that set up for 6 to 8 months. The guy I got it from said it ran fine when he parked it but now it has a mis when accelerating mostly around 2 grand. I changed the plugs and ran a can of seafoam through it but it hasnt helped much. I think its fuel related. I idles fine. This weekend I am going to change the fuel filter and see if that helps. Whats should the fuel pressure on one of these puppies ? I can check that tomorow :?:

The wire loom is stuck to the valve cover and it looks like it wont come off without removing the dip stick and it isnt cold here in Galveston yet but from the looks of that pic you got there it looks dang cold there

HA, I read your post wrong I thought because you where worrying about the Loom breaking that it was cold climate ... your refuring to the wire retainer, inwhich you can remove the cover by sliding it to the left then it will pop right out

OR, its just one bolt to undo the dipstick and it'll pop right out.

Its one of the most simple things you can do on this engine. Don't even be concerned.
