the distributor cap & spinning peg(?) are brand new, so are the leads. plugs all test good. the white/slate wire is connected to the distributor base. What would cause only the Left 3 plugs to fire? distributor cap is on correctly. all parts are from delorean specialists. any ideas? ps you would be amazed how well the engine runs on 3 cylinders. pretty slow to accelerate from 0-10mph, then picks up well.(doesnt like hills). i would prefer all 6 to work however. it has also just passed its emmissions test in this state. im not mistaken. to confirm i have pulled the 3 right hand leads off the spark plugs with the engine running.(don't try yourself!) it makes no difference to how the engine runs and sounds. the new leads all test 3.3-3.5 ohms resistance. (also tested old set, 2.5) To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
