So I need to start a list of things to check when I get to visit my car. It just got shipped finally and my best friends neighbor came to check it out. said he thought it was missing. So they pulled each spark plug wire one at a time, and sure enough, two cylinders were not firing. I did not catch which ones.
So now I need to start thinking of things to check when I get there. Someone mentioned putting a timing light on each wire to check that they all seem in sync. I think I will probably get a new coil to take that out of the equation as well. I am not so sure about tackling the distributor. It is electronic, but I didn't pay much attention to what type. I think i should be able to check the 'gap' if its magnetic pickup. What are some other things to look for on the distributor?
Oh and I will replace wires, just replaced plugs.
