I would agree but I pulled the cover yesterday and when the keyway is met with the dimple on camgear my dizzy is pointing to #1 and its on compression, so maybe the dizzy has an electrical issue (pickup coil?) I dunno

well put your timing lite on every plug wire. if it does not flash on some they are not firing. if they are all firing and number 1 flashes at 10 degt btdc it must run it you spray carb cleaner in it.

since this happened after an electrical prob i can't help much if its electrical.

i thought you said the parts store checked you module and it was ok.

The black and white ten pin plugs behing plenum. they cause all kinds of problems, alot to do with the idle surge issues.

you said a recall, what is that about?

were your plugs original?

did they just need to be cleaned etc?
