need help here! my #2 spark plug is not firing. i got a b16 motor. i dont know what causes the problem. i just had my distributor replaced. harness are ok.

 

Wow, have you tried replacing the plug, wire, cap, rotor? this should be an easy fix

 

Swap a known good plug and wire from another cylinder that you know works. If that works then there you go. If it doesnt work, do like purple terror says and check the cap and rotor, check for brown or crusty burnt spots on the cyl two pin on the cap, the rotor would be hard to comdemn because if the rest are firing then the rotor is working. If its none of that you may have gotten a bunk dizzy.

 

well, i just had my cap and rotor replaced and the spark plug wire. am changing the plugs later. but someone told me that am loosing compression. and told to do a test. i dunno.
just for the info, it all started when my battery died and jump it. sometimes it works fine but most of the time it doesnt.

 

i tried changing the cap, rotor, sparkplug wires, and the plugs, and still wont fire the #2.

Not good, time for a compression test on that cyl, hopefully you dont have a dead cyl. also see if you can borrow a known working dizzy and try that.

 

but how come sometimes it runs good?
so there's nothing wrong with the harness you think?
