My car has starting to run a little rough last week. Today is is totally down. It acts like it is running on 2 cylinders and won't idle. The points were pitted so I replaced them with the cap and condensor. The plugs were black. 2 were totally wet (3 + 4) and have been replaced. I have changed the ECU, MPS. and the coil. The fuel pressure is up around 29. Any suggestions?

D-jet or L-Jet Fi?
if D-jet, I would look at your FI Trigger points....Although they fire in diagonal banks, there wouldnt be any real reason why it wouldnt fire on two cylinders on the same side, unless your wires on the distributor cap were switched. THAT would cause all kinds of problems.

Check injectors. If they are gummed up they will drool the fuel out instead of atomizing it and you will get soaked plugs. If trigger points are bad you will likely get nothing on the plug/run lean if at all.
Check the two or three grd wires at the center of the eng block. Clean grd near relay board.
If you find that the F I is ok ,I would check the valves. I have had valves tighten up and the valve does not close, causing compression loss. On a four cyl. it will seem that you have lost two cyl's.
Thanks for the input guys.
I am still having problems. I am getting spray at the injectors. I replaced the distributor. I may have an electricial problem. I replaced the relay board and the fuel pump quit working. After several swaps back and forth, the fuel pump started working again but I still have the same problem. I am going to look into the grounds a little more. The one at the rear of the engine seemed tight but that mignt not be enough. I will do a compression test. I will also have to recheck my engine timing now that the distributor was changed. Thanks again for your input.

I hope this is just a valve adjustment
On the way to the front to give this reply, I see something small on the floor. Graphite center from my new distributor cap.
Thanks again everyone

The 2.0 HEs will fit the 1.8 motor. Make sure to use the 2.0 muffler and muffler hanger.
If both the 2.0 and the 1.8 are 75+ cars, the exhaust is identical between them. If only one of them is a 75+ car, you will need to swap over all of the heater parts as well as the HEs.
