Hello Haarkan, Firstly, are you sure your Plus 8 has a 3.9 (Hitachi Hotwire) rather than a 4.0 (GEMS). This will be cast into the top left of the plenum chamber, the big mushroom thingie atop the engine and what colour is yours? It can also be confirmed by whether you have a distributor or not..front left of the engine block Looking from left hand side of the engine bay.

Additionally, can you check the tightness of your fan or serpentine belt? It could be old, loose and slipping. Quite common.
