1st question, Who wants to steal my teener to keep it from being pushed over a cliff? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)
2nd question, Why the hell isn't #4 firing?? I'm getting good spark to a good plug? And it was running GREAT last week?? Are my valves THAT far off?? What else would cause this?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

well, here is the background as to why I was poking around in there. Like I said last week she was running great, she is my daily driver. I have been having a bit of trouble with her transition from idle to WOT, but very minor as of late. I didn't drive her at all this weekend, and on monday when I got in her to go to work the transition was horrible, worse than it has ever been. After 3 days I finally got a chance to look in there to see what has changed if anything. All of my settings are the same, no screws turned out or anything so I started pulling plug wires with her running. All of them have a fall off except #4, when I pull that wire there is no change. I pulled the plug, and it looked ok, a little sooty like all of them from running rich, went ahead and cleaned it because it too is new and tried it again. Still no fire... Fouled plug??
