[V8] 4 cylinder V8

[Rex Pedersen]

Hi Mike,
The rotors are glued on and don't have a new one. That's my next plan but
the rotor "looks" good. Nobody has them in stock around here and I have a
feeling that still might not be the cure.

spark plugs. They said the right distributor cap was bad. Needless to say,
she opted NOT to go that way and brought it to me.

the cap, spark plugs and cleaned the rotor but this bank is still dead. I am
getting a spark but not sure it is hot enough. I swapped the coils and coil
wires from side to side and still no luck. I pulled the codes and get no
errors.
