I've tracked down my sluggish running problem to cylinder #4 missing.
Using a laser temp gun, all header pipes at the exhaust manifold were 600 degrees F, cylinder 4 was only 300 degrees F. Either it is not getting spark or fuel. It is missing at idle and WOT.
What I've checked so far:
all cylinders compression OK
removed valve cover, all valves moving OK
new ignition mod.
new coil
new plugs
new wires
swapped injector #4 with injector #3
I still haven't fixed the issue.
Here are my possible questions:
Could the ECM be bad and not sending spark or fuel signal to cylinder #4?
Is there any way to see if injector #4 is getting signal without a oscilloscope?
Any other ideas?
