    no vacuum leaks ? I gather the plugs and leads are new and the distributor is good. There's nothing worse than putting parts on just as crappy as the ones you took off (some things I do 3 times for that reason, my oldman makes me dig up shit from the pick a part). I sorta like the vk efi system and have collected a few efi bits of the 3 sets of extractors i have here 2 of them are quiet warped the first set I put on I couldn't get to seal and not leak.

    well yeh i thought this would be easy... i couldnt really tell if theres any vacuum leaks unless its very small leak all seems ok... ive taken head off twice n checked everything (new gaskets each time) n just give up... i dont wanna pay to tow it to a mechanic n then pay a fortune for them to fix it...

    what the plugs look like? can you tell which cyclinder is missing? maybe a dud injector? (just a guess on the injector bit)
