spark problem on my saff!
hello people got bit of a strange problem on my saff ive not long put the head back on after a valve problem and whilst i was there i put 55lb injectors and a msd chip new cap and rotor ect.....
the problem ive got is that i'm getting a continuous spark to number 1 but 2,3 and 4 only spark the once when keying over
each plug sparks once when the ignition is switched on and off also, is that normal?
cheers, dean

same probs i had on mine i had plugged the knock sensor and Crank Position sensor in the wrong way round
try that it fixed mine also is your fuel pump priming when ignition is switched on?
and if so it should switch off after about 5-6 secs, if the CPS & knock are plugged in wrong way round it stays on constantly

but what i don't understand is that plug no1 is getting a constant spark as it should do and 2,3,4 arn't they only spark once when keying over and when turning ignition on and off
i thought that the ecu would have no control over when a cylinder gets it's spark and so on as thats the cap and rotors job
