Reinstalled my injectors with new seals, replaced gas line, and secured all the vacucum lines on my 74 1.8 and it ran beautifull---so good, I was all over town today having a blast. I was running through the gears shifting around 4,000 rpm when the car started to act like it was running on 3 rather than 4 cylinders.

I checked under the engine lid and everything looked in order, no loose hoses or spark plug wires that were loose. I even checked under the distributor cap to see if the campufire came loose--nothing.

I figure I'll look at in the AM when I'm fresh...meanwhile I'm having some brewskys hoping nothing to serious has happen.

Where would you go from here to see what has happened??? My thoughts were to idle it up high enough to keep it running and then pull one spark plug wire at a time to see if one of the cylinders is not firing. Then what??
