By having a M42 cylinder head on a M44 block might have something to do why I'm having this problem?

Is the head swap something just recently done? If not, I am also leaning towards a big vacuum leak if it just acted up. I recently had one with one of my emission hoses breaking in half. Ran ran terribly. Fixed hose. Runs smooth again

Yes it was! So I was wondering if this due to using a M42 head instead of a M44

I'm not very knowledgable on coverage points for this conversion. If I can ask, what was the motivating factor to swap heads? Perhaps someone else that has done this swap can comment.

You are using a OBD-I head on a OBD-II motor. Here are a few questions. Does the M42 head have a cam sensor and if so did you allign the trigger wheel correct? Any plugs without a home from the M44 harness to M42 head.

I know you can do a M42 to M44 head and it will run but I'm not sure of doing it backwards or M44 to M42 without other mods so the computer is happy.

Cams not alligned correctly will cause a crappy idle or no idle due to too much overlap.

Good luck, John S
