Subject:1.9L still a problem child

Hi all
still having an issue on the 1.9L running on 2/4 and intermittent on 1/3 cylinders. spark is fair and white but not hitting every stroke on the 1/3. what can cause
this? it hit on every stroke on the 2/4. fuel is good and fowling the plugs on 1/3 when they carbon up. im going to do a 2nd compression check hopefully tonight
and see if i can find a spare coil to swap out. i did just swap out the dist. and wires and plugs on 1/3 but nothing changed. coil is about all i have left unless a
bad or weak ground or a broken wire maybe. i still need to find someone to let me borrow a tool to measure the lift of the cap on the rocker arm to see if i have a
flat cam. if any more suggestions let me know im all ears. c-ya Jonce
