RE: weird ass fuel? no combustion? problem.

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

If you have compression (and you do) and you have spark (looks like you do),
then the car's fuel delivery system has a problem somewhere.  Return your
ignition timing to stock, that will eliminate the backfiring.
Did this happen suddenly?  If so, something broke or came loose.
Did this happen gradually, over time?  Then something wore or clogged up.

Verify that the fuel filter is good, then I'd start at the injectors and
work backward.

Subject: weird ass fuel? no combustion? problem.


ok ok.. my car took a shit couple days ago. right now, it's barely running,
no power whatsoever (literally).

compression is
160
175
180
150

on a HT motor

ok.. the weird shit is that. while the car is idling.. i unplug 2nd cylinder
wire, car is still running like nothing happened, i hear and see sparks when
i plug the wire back in. same thing for 3rd cylinder.

so. i change the wires, cap and rotor(cleaned it with sand paper).

same thing no differance. but when i try to unplug 1st cyl, the car wants to
die. i'm like ok good.. same thing for the 4th cylinder.

so that leads me to. A. fuel distributor which i have changed couple days
ago since it took a shit. B. bad injectors.

my vaccum is at 15, with the timing all the way advanced. and back fires
alot.

what do you guys think?

Thanks
Wing Gee
