Running on 3 cylinders
Running on 3 cylinders
Well guys, I finally got my BPT back together and now cylinder #3 isnt doing a damn thing. Its getting spark from the distributer, but the plug is still white. The engine of course is running rich at idle so when I take out the plug, its wet but not burnt like the rest. What can I check out to get this fixed? Anything will help.

Is there spark in your cylinder ? Maybe it is OVER wet.. so you need to dry it before putting it back into the cylinder..
If there is no spark.. take out the wire out of the disty, you'll see sparks coming out if it is ok.. Change your wires, and make sure it is the right lenght..

Re: Running on 3 cylinders
I have spark all the way to the spark plug. I was messing around with the S-AFC before and I had it idling really smooth just like a normal car. But once I took out the plug again it didnt look like it was burning like the rest. That or maybe it just doesnt have as much carbon build up on it like the rest. I have to set up the S-AFC tomorrow and try to tweak it out a little more to see whats up. I didnt know you can use this much gas sitting in your driveway.
