WELL, SOME ENGINES DON'T EVEN BLINK IF A WIRE IS REMOVED, I SAW A 460 RUN ON 4, IT LACKED BIG-TIME POWER, BUT IT WAS SO WELL BALANCED AT THE MACHINE SHOP I USED TO WORK AT, IT WAS AMAZING HOW SMOOTH IT WAS RUNNING, AND WAS STILL DRIVING!
IS IT RUNNING POORLY. THAT WHY YOU WERE PULLING WIRES?
OR IS YOU QUESTION RELATED TO. ONE OF MY CYLINDERS IS NOT OPERATING, AND I VERIFIED IT BY PULLING THE WIRE ON THE SUSPICIOUS CYLINDER?
WELL IF IT WERE MINE, AND I WAS BEGINNING THE INVESTIGATION, I WOULD PULL THE PLUG AND GROUND IT, TO THE ENGINE AND VERIFY I HAD WONDERFUL SPARK AT THE PLUG.
THEN I WOULD PERFORM A COMPRESSION TEST ON THAT CYLINDER, AND COMPARE IT TO A FEW OTHERS (UNLESS YOU GET "0", THEN WE MAY HAVE A VALVE OR CAM ISSUE)
THESE ARE RELATIVELY SIMPLE TESTS, I MAY CAN ASSIST YOU IF NEED SOME.
LET ME KNOW WHATS GOING ON, IMMA CJ JEEP GUY, AND I UNDERSTAND VERY WELL, VEHICLES 1982 ON BACK.
YOUR TURN
THE MEDIC
