Dear People,
I fixed my ignition module (see other posts last week), and
now the car starts up very quickly (always did), but it
stumbles when idling (as if some cylinders were not firing).
Well, as the engine idles, you can pull each spark plug wire
at the distributor, and all make the engine stumble VERY
bad, EXCEPT cylinders two and three. When they are pulled,
there is no change.
My apark is VERY blue and strong to all wires (including the
bad #2 and #3).
I got a stethoscope and listened to the injectors while the
engine runs and they are all clicking strongly and click up
and down as you rev the engine.
We OHMed the wires themselves–and they ohm okay, at about 6
to 7K each. Just like the rest of the wires which are
firing okay.
I went and changed the plugs with new plugs. Same problem:
cyl. #2 and #3 are no go.
I’m puzzled. We are going to do a compression check either
tomorrow or this weekend. But I do not feel its the head or
its gasket (I hope, knock on wood).
Anyone have any palpable suggestions?
