Reply to "My engine strarted popping last night."

I drove it all day yesterday. No more hesitation. It is running smooth and strong. I am still sucking a lot of oil into my PCV catch can. I am going to try mounting it higher than the valve cover to see if more will drain back into the engine. It has so much torque that when the tachometer hits 3500 RPM in second gear the tires start losing grip, and I have to let up on the throttle. Before I installed that catch can I must have been burning a lot of oil, but even before I put the PCV valve on it was not running this well, so the plugs and wires probably needed a change anyway. When I have more time I will pull the valve covers and check the oil drain holes. If they are clogged the problem is on both sides, because it doesn't matter which side the PCV is on it is pulling oil out. Of course the harder I drive it the faster it sucks oil, but that is because hard driving causes high vacuum in the intake. Thank you for all of your input.
