Heya everyone,
I have a problem with the 4ktq "again". I HATE CIS! The
engien is a 5kt engine, all functions are the same as the MC
Engine even though my KH is a little different.
Car ran fine when I parked it but had a stumble on throttle tip
in from idle.
Go to move the car to the Garage. NO Start. Had been parked
1-2 weeks. I have spark and Fuel. Pulling the plugs yield
fouled plugs and damp piston tops.
After much troubleshooting I have narrowed it unoficially to a
WEAK SPARK. By that I mean the spark seems visibly weak at the
plugs. Even at night its hard to see the spark. I have tried
swapping known good Plug Wires, Cap, Rotor in and the plugs are
brand new. I do get a significant voltage drop at the gauge
when cranking and a large spike in resistance across the power
wire from battery to starter when cranking. HOwever, hooking up
my Rover via Jumpers to the Power-Dist block in the Engine
Compartment (Battery is in Trunk) and grounding to block fixed
this drop and I still have the same issues.
Next logical step to me is to try a Known Good Coil. Does
anyone have any other ideas or things to look at. I can
occasionaly get the car to sputter a little but it will not run.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Todd
