So I am getting ready for the drive on Friday, have Tangerine do some adjustmensats, drive it home and now it's on 3 cyclinders. Quickly got new plugs/wires/cap and rotors and still only on 3. Spark plug 1 was black and spark plug 2 was wet with gas. Anything else I can do?

He knows exactly which cylinder is bad. Its #2.
Do a compression test on the bad cylinder. That will tell you if the problem is mechanical. Ground the plug against the engine block and watch for spark. That will test electrical. Pull the injector and spray it into a jar. make sure it sprays and not drips. That will test fuel delivery. I'm assuming that the car is running rough but it is not making other bad noises. Zach |

Pull plug wire #2, stick a plug in it, ground its threads to the case, and watch for spark when someone cranks it. I love the tests that only take a minute but tell a lot. |
