Default Re: NEED HELP ASAP (matmcg)

if yo pulled it out while runnign it tends to be were the coil int the distributor arcs over to the other guy in ther, i beive the ignitor, anyhoo, i am referring to the brain or ignition module in there. so probably check for any signs of carbon tracking. to do a simple spark test, put a phillips screwdriver in any one of the cylender plug wires, and set it to the shaft of the driver is not touching but within abotu a 1/4 to 1/2 inch away form a ground,a nd while someone else cranks it watch the spark jump, and not its color, and note if it is steady, like if it has a proper rythem, or if it misses a spark every couple of strokes for that cylender.
