Hey guys,
'73 2.0 FI blew a spark plug out...fixed it and it ran so-so...then it didn't run at all...then it ran perfect for 20 minutes...then next day ran for a minute and died. Plugs have weak spark but couldn't get a pop out of any cylinders for two hours....still dead....have checked a lot of wires and logically it should at least fire a bit but absolutely nothing. Maybe spark too weak to fire under compression? Or some component dead I can't figure out? Even with starting fluid not a single pop. Your thoughts? Thank you.
