hello again guys,<br /> happy to say i found the problem with the afore mentioned engine. had the ignition grounded thru the black and yello wire from the switch to the cd packs. cut the wire at the red engine plug and disconnected the 4 coils to prevent starting. then checked for fire at plugs, instant success. bypassed the black and yellow wire with a new one and everything works like new. did find out too that i had a bad ststor.<br /><br /> thanks much and i hope this will help someone else in the future.<br /><br /> buckman
