i have been working this issue for a while, so its time for some outside help.
back story: purchased car missing two injectors, previous owner claim two injectors were flooding engine, crank case had about 2 qts of gas in it, purchased two reman injectors from ebay.
i installed two injectors and swapped the oil/filter. started the car and then shut if off after a few seconds. the car had what sounded like an ignition miss fire. since the car had been sitting for a long time and the previous owner did abuse it, i figure it was just a tune up issue and dismissed it as such. few days go by, and i do a tune up.... the "miss" is still there!
compression test = 150 145 148 145
spark at all cylinders
turbo spools
pulled #1 spark plug = no change to idle
pulled #2 spark plug = no change to idle
pulled #3/4 spark plug = struggles, but stays alive
(next day) since i could get to the #1 plug (its missing the c-clip), i unhooked it. there was no change to the idle at all. no even a check engine light, the first time i did it. did a simple continuity test, this is where i am confused, and both wires are showing a positive signal. anyone have an idea?
btw: #1/2 injectors are the reman ones from ebay. not thinking its the injectors themselves, since i have used reman injectors form this source before.
