Default H22a running rough, need help pinpointing...Measuring a voltage loss?

Well My problem with my h22a continues. The car is boosted and for some reason it is running like its on 3 cylinders but its not. I change dthe distributer and nothing changed, im also not getting any codes. My igntion is breaking up really bad at 5k+. So im thinking either and most likey electrical or fuel issue. Is there any way I can read a voltage loss? How do and were do I check if I am?

Check the resistance of your plug wires, are you using colder plugs? Also you can check you engine harness for continuity for each wire , but you dont have any cel's so i dont know.

You have a Dvom( Digital volt ohm meter) read your manual it will tell you the settings, if you think you have an open wire somewhere in your engine harness i would think you would have a cel. so check your ignition timing, it could be a simple ignition or fuel problem. Have you done a tune up at all, plugs ,check cap rotor, fuel filter. I cant really diagnose your car over the internet.

what wires do you have, because i had a BRAND NEW e set of neuspeed wires after 800 miles they went bad arching and ****... MSD's solved the prob. When in question on your wireing harness **** it rewire the bitch. Get another known good harness and start fresh.
