Default Cossie (4x4) running problem - part deux!

Right its not the phase sensor, plugs, leads, rotor arm or cap!

Changed the firing order to 1342 (from 1243, but made no diff) and I can get it to idle but only on two cylinders. If you remove lead 2 or 3 when running it make no difference but i am getting a spark on both cylinders!

Im guessing ive mucked the timing up in some way

Ive..... set the phase gap to 0.2mm, firing order to 1342, rotor arm pointing at no.1 with cams timed up.

Is number one supposed to point to the far right when re-istalling the dissy though?

This is really starting to get on my tits, please help!

PS - other checks I done - getting fuel from all 4 injectors, cambelt correctly timed.

You could also check the transistors from the injectors in the ECU,most likely not but you never know.
