Ok I just fixed a short on my alternator. Then I went and took a buddy out the next day and something happened and now the car runs off two cylinders at idle. When I pull plugs 2 and 3 nothing happens at idle but if all plugs are in the car will rev until red line and after 3000 rpm the car picks up some steam and runs a lot better. I replaced coils and plugs, removed the o2 sensor and it seemed to run better after that in the open loop. It seems to be running rich with a lot gas smell even at high rpms....I'm think CAS but I'm not sure any help would be great.
 
Replaced the power transistor checked the timing belt, still missing on cylinders 2-3, tach works after 3-5 mins guess it time to check the CAS
 
Advanced the crap out of the CAS and was running on all cylinders need to do a compression test checking for a blown head gasket anyone think this could be the case?
