    i did a 2.3t motor swap into a 90 lx mustang and swapped a Stage 2 Racer Walsh cam into it before i ran it. i got it running but one of the cylinders are dead and its getting spark compression and gas and the timing is right but it just wont hit and i dont understand why not could it be the cam or what? its the 2nd cyl going from your right when your facing the spark plugs. i just dont understand could of be a intake value stuck half open??? its not the plugs or wires there brand new and the new spark plug i put on just keep getting filled full of gas and junk! so anybody know wtfs goin on?

    I'm betting a follower came off the cam & the valve isn't opening...

    Yeah i'd pop off the upper intake and remove the valve cover and see what's going on with that cylinder. If you don't have any luck, you can sell the cam to me LOL! Though I am seriously looking at Bo's cams...
