Had to leave it in Brattleboro, VT [near mass/NH] yesterday. Anyone have a shop near there? Or in Mass or NH? It still runs/drives but has a bad stutter and knock to it.
It really sounded like a rocker came off to me, so I pulled both valve covers and they both looked fine. I started it back up and drove it, now the boost gauge doesn't work - I might have left a vacuum line off? I don't know if the boost gauge was working when it started running bad either? But it was working perfect before I know that. Seems to have boost, but runs like a bag a crap and it seems to come and go - but the knock is always there.
I parked it someplace safe and got a ride home to Albany, NY.
I'm planning on going back in a week to flat bed it home or I will bring it to the nearest northeast shop if they are up on the buick 6. It's been a while since I've changed the plugs, would bad plugs or bad coil packs cause a knocking sound?
Thanks in advance!
Chris
