Raymr- do I unplug it while the engine is already running, or before I start it? I would like to clean it, because I have heard this could be the problem, but I do not know how to remove it.

How is the power otherwise? I know thats a dumb question for a 380, but can it at least outrun a Geo Metro? If its severely slow there may be other issues such as valves or rings.
