Teener Sick, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
Well, my diagnosis is as follows: Bought a battery charger / alternator tester tonight. Strapped it on and bingo, alternator is bad. I will double-check all the connections another day when the temperature is back down in the double digits. I had it idling and I am not sure what possessed me to do it but I pulled # 2 spark plug wire. The engine has been running rough lately. Well what do you know; it still runs just as rough and no change. I was not brave enough to put my tongue on the spark plug wire, but my timing light said I was getting a spark. I pulled the injector wire and the engine did not change. Doing the same for #1 cylinder caused it to sputter and almost die. SO…..I think the injector may be bad or not getting a signal. I wondered over to the other side of the car and try it with #3 cylinder and it too is not running. # 4 is OK.

So with that being said, do I have a trigger points problem, or is there something else?
I cannot believe that both injectors are plugged at about the same time, but then my luck is not that good.
