I had my convertible out Saturday...we took about a 50 mile drive and stopped to eat lunch. She ran great on the way there. On the way home I was going down the highway and was about 5 miles from home and heard a backfire and then the sound of the engine changed and I could tell the power was different. Like I was heading to a huge head wind. trying to make it to the ramp but after about one more mile heard a couple more backfires and she quit. coasted to the shoulder and that was it. I thought I lost a cylinder. I hauled it home and checked compression and still had compression in all 8. I have spark. Anyone have any ideas? when you crank it over it never fires, doesn't sound funny, just cranks.
