Hello everyone! Could use some advice... My 1997 80 Series started hesitating and acting like it was going to stall. This happened after driving for considerable time (to the airport) and even on cold starts. You can smell heavy exhaust. The vehicle is now at Toy Auto Care down south here. They were able to duplicate the hesitation and identified the PCode. They recommended replacing the spark plugs and ignition wires which they did. However, there is still some hesitation on a cold start.

They want to take off the valve covers and maybe adjust the valves. They haven't given me a price yet but I have feeling it will be costly. I went to this shop off of Arapahoe road because of good recommendations so I'm not saying they don't know what they are doing.

I am waiting on a price quote on the working on the valves but does that seem right or any other suggestions?

Thank you!
