Hola Volvo Brethren,
First I'll explain the car and the setup to limit confusion. I've got a 1984 Volvo 242 with a rebuilt b230ft and t5. The car was running on the stock k jet system, but I preferred the thought of a smoother idle, diagnostics and the other pros of LH 2.4 so I swapped in a fresh harness. long story short the car starts and runs on two cylinders with a weak spark. I have checked (on my LH 2.4 245) or replaced the following components: ECU, EZK, CPS, Powerstage, Distributor, Rotor, Cap, Wires, Plugs, and all ground connections. When I crank the car with the coil wire unplugged I get full bright spark grounding over and over. The timing has been reset multiple times and has been confirmed by timing light to be dead on, but still only spark on cylinders one and three. I am so lost and anything would help at this point in time.
Thanks!!!
