You are correct. The 2 CD's can run a 4 cylinder.<br />To check the CD, switch it with the good one. Get spark! If not then could be the trigger. You've changed the stator I believe.

correct, i changed the stator , but looks like this was broke 2...i replaced a new CD but still no spark on the middle cylinder....so, guess it must be my trigger??

Check the coil for continuity.<br />Try not to be a parts changer without testing it.<br />«««««««««««That will get to be expensive and good parts get thrown out. When Ì'm home I'll review the manuel for more ideas. Parlez vous le francais?
