Hey guys I know this is kinda random, but it's something that bugged me lastnight into this morning...
I used the distributor, cap, wire that werected on the used that i just swapped in, I noticed tuning it seemed harder than last time, couldn't get stable afrs unless I was idling..
So I double checked the firing order and it was set at 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, but I remember checking the block and it's from the mid 90s, so instantly I chanced it to 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 but the the car wouldn't start. I set the engine at TDC and used my finger to feel the compression stroke when I dropped the engine in it and set base ignition timing so I know the rotor was firing #1 when it should be.
I switched to my old cap/wires
and also poped the passenger valve cover to ensure that it was indeed the firing order i though, and it was..
I'm just mind boggled on it, what type of internal fault could essentially change the firing order like that?
