thanks for the bump at least.........i think the z6 was fine
400$ for a complete swap.......yeah, the z6 is fine.

It was running fine before I did the stuff above. It had
a few check engine lights I hadnt fixed yet, but it ran ok.

any help.......thanks

i have no idea why you're having this problem, and i know this is a completly retarded suggestion, and i know you're better than this but: do you have the firing order correct

Yes this place has gone Down Down Down, EG+ is goin down.

On a lighter note, jwn7 is probly right. do you know what 2 cyls are not firing? Are you getting spark on all of them? In the dark, if you crank the car, are the wires arc-ing bad? You could have swaped the 2, and thats why they are not working...

i said that because the last time i changed my cap and rotor, i mixed up cylinders 2 and 3 on the dizzy. the motor started ok, and it did actually run (like crap), but it was shaking like a bitch due to the dual misfire. then i switched them and everything was cool.

well, at least I got some replies this time.

I was positive that I had them right, but what you guys are saying
is giving me my doubts. Its # 2 and 3 that arnt firing. So what is
the proper firing order.........?....I guess I could look in the helms.

because he obviously dosnt know the answer to any of my questions,
and for some stupid reason he decided to ***** my thread.

to all the other sugestions, I dont think its going to be that easy.
I have tried so many things........I am seriously at a loss here.
