Subject:Running on 3 Cylinders
From:Dominic Provini Jr.

Hi,

I have a question . . .My 85 westy is in the shop getting some work done
and the mechanic has been trying to figure out why it sometimes fires on
3 cylinders and sometimes 4.  It's a 1.9l and it's starting to happen
all the time now.  One time I will start it and it will run fine, the
next time I jump in it and it runs horrible.  I have replaced the spark
plug, the plug wire, the rotor and the fuel injector.  Is there any test
he can perform to try and track down why cylinder #1 doesn't fire like
it should?  Any help would be great...

Thanks

Dom
