Misfire when hot
I have a 1992 318 Magnum engine swapped into a 1956 Dodge Regent. When it's cool, it will run pretty good, though it has a high idle. When it gets warm, the engine will start to misfire, drop cylinders, and make such little power that it will die when you put it in gear.
I recorded what it does when it gets hot. In the second clip, I was losing speed while going downhill. I feel like it's heat related because it doesn't happen during winter, could it be the ECU getting too hot?
I've already replaced the coil and crank sensor.
I don't have a timing light, but I started pulling plug wires which showed that all of the cylinders had spark. I did find out that if I leave the hood open, it will idle just fine. But if I close the hood, it starts to misfire and idle high.
In the video the hood was open and it was still doing it. You will still get spark but it sounds like it's intermittent. A timing light will show that. From what i can see it looks like you have a lot of exposed wires, Might try wiggling the harness to see if that does anything. Do you still have the check engine light? If so you can do the key dance to see if you have any codes.
