<div>It looks like we have a consensus that this is an electrical issue. Now the question I have for those who've commented, in what order should he begin the search? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two weeks ago we had this "fluttering" in our 24 Hours of LeMons race car up at Ridge Motorsports Park in Washington, and it was a stripped stud in the alternator, so it wasn't making a good connection and thus not charging efficiently. We started to track down the issue at the battery and not the alternator so it took us a long time, all while the race was still going.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for Gary to begin going through his car, ideally doing one thing at a time so he knows when he finds the problem. I'd say check the alternator or generator to make sure it's putting close to 14 volts? Check the battery. Check power to the coil. Check the output of the coil. Then the distributor, rotor, etc. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm far from an expert on this, so I ask the group, step by step where should Gary behind to track this down?</div>

Spark Plug wires will fail under load like that. That'd be my first thought before plugs, especially with electronic ignition and especially if you're running anything other than copper core wires. Then the distributor cap and rotor. Some of the older rotors were sketchy. <br>
