[DeTomaso] Ignition truble

[Art Stephens]

     Could still be a bad damper?  Just because it is aftermarket,  doesn't 
mean it didn't go bad.  When my stock damper went bad,  I thought it had an 
ignition problem,  I thought it was missing.  I replaced the cap,  rotor and 
plugs,  obviously to no avail.  It took me a month to figure it out.
