Replaced the engine, was running ok. Had a problem with the front suspension so it sat for a few weeks. Fixed suspension and started it up... Hasnt run right since. Plugs are brand new champion copper. Pulled them, look fine except wet with fuel. Shudder wheel looks fine, its tight. Swapped hall pickup too, from runnning car, no change.

Or is this a new setup that you can't get running? Are you sure the plugs aren't all gunked up and shorted... The only thing that makes sens it it is not being told to spark the other 3 cylinders. If they didn't fire, the coil wire would at least fire at all 4. How does the shutter wheel look? Is it intact, loose? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 2:33 PM Subject: Re: SD> odd problem, running on 1 cyl, 88 Shelby Z > Rotor turns.
