Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Other Nissan Models 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi I have an 89 nissan stanza 4 cylinder. I replaced the plug wires and the plugs, this car has 8 spark plugs 4 on the intake side and 4 on the exhaust side. It runs rough and misfires at times thats why I replaced the plugs and wires but it did not help. Is there any way to disable the intake side plugs without causing more problems or should I look at something else. Thanks

Do an engine compression and fuel pressure check and comeback with the readings.
