Hi = All,

I have been = trying to start my engine for several weeks without success.  I = would appreciate any suggestions.

 

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

 

Problem: = 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?

 

Suggestions?&n= bsp;

 

Thanks.
