![Question](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Took my spark plugs out today to inspect them as i wasnt convinced i wasnt running on all four cylinders. Two spark plugs are fireing im shure but two doesnt seem to have ever fired as they where still like new and where covered in fuel. What could cause this? Takeing into consideration i have a newly built engine running efi, new plugs, leads, and has only been fired up twice. im shure im getting fuel but no spark? Please help me!!!!!!!!

fire it up, pull a lead off one at a time and see if the engine note/idle changes. check for a spark if one isnt firing, if u got a spark leave that lead off for a few secs to dry the plug then stick it back on and see if it starts working.

Now runs sweet as a nut. The only thing that i worrying me now is i got it up to temprature for the first time ever and there was alot of blue smoke coming out the back but im pretty shure its old oil from of the exhaust i put on yesturday. seemed a bit oily inside so i hope its that and not the turbo. Also had my exhaust heat wrap ball out aload of smoke. Is that normal for new heat wrap? My dad thought i was gonna catch fire lol

I expect the blue smoke will clear but keep an eye on it.
