[V8] Giving up?Not so fast...New Discovery

[Tony and Lillie]

Sounds like one of the dizzus isn't firing. Each is fed by a coil, so time 
to check that side coil for power, etc and make sure it's working correctly. 
They are interchangable as well, if you decide to swap them side to side to 
see if the issue moves with the coil.

Might just be a bad connector or something simple, though.

Hello All,
Thanks for everyones input about not giving up just yet. I haven't.
Car is moved to a suitable location for me to work on. No longer at a friend 
house. '91 V8 Lago. 154k.

Car starts and idles fine. Poor acceleration. Was able to drive to new 
location. Runs better down hill.
Car gave 2231 code, but went away. Then flashing cat's light, also went 
away.
I decided to pull the electrical connectors to the injectors while it was 
idling. Pulled # 5 not much change, if any. Pulled #6. Car sputters and 
dies. Same with #7, sputters and dies. #8 just like #5. Guess what. #'s 1 
and 4 car sputters and dies. #'s 2 and3? No change. Running on 4 cylinders?

So, I connect an extra injector to connectors 5 and 8. The injector fires. 
Power there. That was the last thing I was able to accomplish before going 
home.
Tomorrow after work I will pull wires to see if they are firing.

I love forward progress.


TIA,
Paul
