As the title states, The engine will start and run on 6 cylinders but numbers 1, 2, and 3 die after 5-10 seconds.
Things I've tried:
Check ignition timing
Check cam timing
Check valve lash
Change spark plug wires around
Change spark plugs around
Change injector wires around
Change injectors around
Check compression(125-135 on the offending holes)
Listen for hissing when pressurizing the cylinder with an air hose at TDC
Play with dwell settings on the MS1
Swearing loudly at it
The plugs and wires are new, the cap and rotor came with the dizzy and looked new, I'm going to replace the cap tomorrow.
The engine is a '77 bottom end with a solid p90 head, 280zxt manifold and turbo, 280zxt injectors and fuel rail(had the injectors cleaned and flowed), MS1, open MSA downpipe, 280zxt optical dizzy, no turbo to TB pipe yet.
If the cap doesn't fix it, I'm stumped.
Datalog of it losing the 3 after startup, I put a flag roughly when each one died. You can see one coming back when the rpms increase and then drop back off. Throttle didn't move at all after it was started.
