Zreddy Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Haven't posted in a long time, for the reason I never had any problems. But recently, I put the car back together, and it ran without any trouble. Then weirdly enough, after starting the car again, the rear 3 cylinders were the only ones running?! Tested: *Compression 150psi all across *All spark plugs are firing *Fuel Injectors - the 3 rear cylinders are firing/running, so shouldn't the front 3 injectors/cylinders be firing also? I am so confused, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Sigh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthom5147 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some ideas: check plugs for fuel fouling. check ignition coil wiring to see if you swapped some around and it's trying to fire out of order. more details could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugs looked fine, weren't soaked. Thinking outside the box here, but when soldering wire, is there a possibly that wire could get damaged from heat?

jthom5147 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The metal? Not really, unless it was broken during handling. The coating / insulation? Absolutely. A short in the coil wires could cause spark issue. A bad ground as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That's what happens when you haven't worked on the car in awhile... SMH. Thanks for the help bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510sr20det Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It takes 3 thing to make a motor run AIR, spark and fuel. If you have all 3 it should run. so one is missing.. Have injectors been cleaned?? WE find on used JDM motors usually 1 to half of them clogged, dripping so that could be it.. New plugs??? if you have access to CONSULT have a balance test done.
