Misfiring while cruising

[Mark Maras]

 Good job but, no ride yet. Now disconnect the wires from the cap and connect them to the spark plugs which have been removed. Measure the resistance from the center pole on the bottom of the plug and the connector on the wires that goes to the dist. cap.

Same measurement.

 Ok, Now with the wires connected to the plugs and cap, measure the resistance from each of the contacts inside the cap to the center electrode on each spark plug.

[jalexquijano]

Same measurement though.

 Ok, If you've completed all the tests and found everything looking good put it back together with good (or new) plugs and take it for a run and then let it idle. I'm hoping that you've improved the connections while doing the tests. Let us know.

Stop complaining! You are not helping. Just bashing

I feel bad about saying that, I'm truly sorry.  I had a Porsche and remember post from a guy in Panama that went by a very similar username as you use on here.  Had a '60 VW Beetle.  That was 10 years ago at least.  Are you Jorge Alex or Jalex?

Again I'm sorry if I've confused you with another person.

I started a new thread on just the unusual pattern of fouling.  Somebody might have seen it before.  It's weird.

Sorry but your are confused. I am very grateful with all the help you guys have given me. Mark has guided me a lot.

So you ARE NOT the one on thesamba.com with the VW?

Im taking it for a test drive today and will leave it idling for 20 mins to simulate a traffic jam. Should i leav the timing at 14 btdc?

Yes..  Focus on eliminating one factor at a time.

Did a 7 min run some 10 to 20 seconds stops. These were the results. Still have not left it idling. 1 2 3 4 5 6 spark plug order
