[Cliff Sadler]

I've been leaning towards plug wires myself.

I'm going to check the fuel pressure today.

Ours had a problem similar, though not quite the same.  After an hour or so
of driving it would start stumbling.  Not sure which one fixed it, but after
new caps, rotors, and wires the problem went away.  BTW, are the "rotors" on
the SL actually rotors in the classical sense?
