New 1987 = 13b N/A engine

MicroTech = LT-10 Ignition system

Engine = spins well with starter

Fuel = injectors work well and engine gets good fuel

I have = checked all connections and good ground exists

I have = checked crank angle sensor to make sure all marks were lined-up = correctly

 <= /o:p>

Problem:&nbs= p; All spark plugs fire, but rarely.  Each time each rotor spin twice, = each plug will fire about once.  I have changed the crank angle sensor with another.  However, I am uncertain either one functions = correctly.  I do not know if there is a way to check each one to see if they are = correct?
