I feel Stupid for asking this, car wants to run on 2-3 cyl and when it cranks it on 2-3 but on the up stroke on one of them it wants to stop the whole motor or make it jerk then stop hesitate then crank. Almost like the timing is off.

I have the coil pack right and wires right looking at it like its on the car on the driver side
Motor

Coil pack 4321

The timing is dead on. I checked this already.

I am getting gas on all 4.
I am getting spark on 3, 4, and 2,1 seems to fire the same just a little weaker.

I think its ethier the ecu, cas?, coil pack, coil pack resister thing, resistor for the injectors?

Problem is i dont have xtra parts to test this but the coil pack resister thing, resistor for the injectors.

I feel so dumb for asking this, its been a long time since i had to mess with this.

isnt the firing order on the coil pack 4-1-2-3?

Yep thats how i have mine if you look at it in the stock location on the drivers side i have mine 4123.

according to your first post , you dont. Thats why I was asking. It should be Coil Pack : 4 1 2 3 according to your "diagram" .

yeah,, the firing order is 4123, it is on the coil pack, but there is other way you can have the ignition set up,

No i do know what i am talking about. Look and comprehend this.

When you are looking into the engine bay driver side of car,

You see the motor cylinder
#4 furthest
#3
#2

The firing order is 4123.

Look in the hyanes book its pictured the same way.

I comprehend what you're saying. My car runs.

But your diagram could be misinterpreted, is all I'm saying. I'm sure you know how it all works. But the coil pack is NOT 4321, even if we all know what the firing order is. And the haynes book sucks anyways.

Its probably the coil pack anyways. I have a spare one if you need it.

The coil pack is 4123 I am just making it hard to understand.

Id rather find a local.

if your only on 2 and 3 your ignition transistor could be shot

Thats what i thought but i get great spark on 4,3 1 is not as good as 3,4 and 2 is shit.

hold on. did you pull your spark plugs and see if they smell like gas? you could have injectors clogged.
i had that happen on my 240. i thought it was the distributor cap and rotor and here it was an injector that was clogged.

Like i stated in post #1 i am geting gas on all 4 i checked.

Its the coil pack. I'll put money on it. I'm pretty sure you can swap the coils around, and you're problem should change into 1 and 4 instead of 2 and 3.

 

[gsxgate24]

sorry. i missed that. skimming through probably wasnt such a good idea. good luck. still think transistor since 3 and 4 are on 2 different coil packs. (i have a coil on plug set up for sale and you can just eliminate having the coil packs)
