I am helping Brian with Lew's car. As most of you may know, it is a 2056 with djet.
The car was running fine, he drive it to CT one day and when he came back he noticed that the MPS was hanging. The car starts to run on 3 cylinders with #4 not firing. We checked for spark and injectors they are all fine, but if you remove spark wire #4, it had no effect.

The strange thing is if you elevate the mps about 6 inches up, it's all fine, even that 4th cyl works. All the electrical wires on the unit are fine

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?

Dies the 2056 uses 1.7 or 2.0 MPS?

He would like to make it to Hershey.
