hey guys, incase you didnt know or remember i thought i blew the motor in the escort, well it turns out 6 things happened at once!
turns out i blew the top rad hose, spoiled my distributor unit, coil pack, wires, fowled 3 plugs cuz of the over heating, and all the wires went bad...wow eh?
well anyways, i've replaced the distributor unit and coil pack, so im getting lots of spark to the distributor cap, and im getting spark jump from all 4 wires when i pull them off the disti cap, and it seems like im getting spark when i pull the wires from the spark plug end it seems like im getting spark BUUUUT
its running on 3 cylinders and im getting a horrible popping sound from the exhaust!
i did a compression test, reads 142,145,146,138. so its not a head gasket
BUT GRRR!!!!! any ideas why she wont run on all four??? its definately an ignition problem now.
thanks
JACK
