Long story short trying to show off a 2 step to a girl turned around and got me.
STORY: Around 5500-6000RPM in second gear, after launching, POP,POP BOOM! lost a lot of power. And tach started jumping all over the place. It happened before, copper plugs so I figured they may have fouled out. So I babied it to the shop.
Pulled the plugs and sure enough they where fouled.
When plugs where out I looked in the cylinders with a bore scope. 1 and 4 had a lot of sludge in there and 2 and 3 where spot less.
Did a compretion test just in case. Had 150-180 across the board.
Sprayed in cleaner in to cylinders and cranked over with no plugs or fuel injectors conected.
Put in new plugs started up, idled perfect for about a minute. Then I gave it a quick rev. Then put put put, fouled them out again. Pulled plugs found 2 and 3 fouled out. 1 and 4 still look new.
So what so 2 and 3 have in common that would cause just them to foul??? The only thing I can think of is the coil. BUT I do find it funny that the coil went bad just like that cause I was beating it.
I tested the coils across the terminals and both have about 13k ohms.
