Only owned it a couple of months so only managed a couple of short trips but it ran flawlessly. Then just like flicking a switch it's now difficult to start, to keep running and huge back fires going on so much so I'd be reluctant to drive it to my local garage.
New house and garage and no heat yet in the garage and one day last week the place was ringing wet through with condensation which I've now got a handle on with a small dehumidifier.
Checked all plugs leads are on.
Checked the distributer and no signs of any dampness.
Installed new battery.
Checked the fuel to make sure I hadn't put diesel in and I haven't and can't see any signs of water in the tank.
And thinking back when I discovered the condensation issue I ran this and another Corvette for maybe 40 minutes to get rid of any dampness I couldn't wipe down myself and they ran fine.
Any other ailments that would show as a back fire? Suppose I should check / change the fuel filter?
