I'm having misfiring issues. 2000 Nautique Open Bow, 5.0 HO PCM, throttle body fuel injection, AC Delco HEI ignition. It has new plugs, cap and rotor, fuel filter. Wires show no sign of wear and resistance measures ok. Coil wire measures 1.2K ohms. Coil measures 1.0 ohm primary, 7.9K ohms secondary. Engine starts right up but when idle settles to 700 or so it runs rough and idle oscillates to make up for this. Under power still misses, severe lack of power. Fuel appears to be spraying fine from the fuel injectors. Pulling plugs after it has ran for a bit shows none fouling more than the other but have black soot built up fairly quick. Have a timing light but there are warnings on how to properly connect it without damaging the Ignition Control Module. Looking for advice how to progress from here. Thanks in advance. Glen

Did it all of a sudden start running poorly, then all those parts got replaced? Wondering if in the process of part swapping the firing order got mixed up... Confirmed the FO is correct? |

Could be the plugs themselves as well. Have to isolate it down to which ones are misfiring. Have read somewhere about counterfeit plugs- even the boxes are copied ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

It started running poorly intermittently then constant. The rotor and cap had been replaced a while before this happened. Replaced the plugs over the winter in my garage and had same issue starting it up a couple weeks back. Plugs are AC MR43LTS from AutoZone. I'll double check the wiring/firing order. I also drained the gas tank and filled with new to take that out of the possibilities. Forgot to mention the battery is new also. Plugs are cheap so I can replace those again. It's just one of those frustrating issues. Miss my '82 where nothing was computer controlled and it was fun to work on. ------------- GPJ |

Wires were correct - 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. What's messed up is this is what the spec sheet and the sticker on the oil pan has. A sticker on the valve cover has 12756348. Guess it depends if you're looking clockwise or counter-clockwise. Now I'm not sure which direction the distributor turns. Not that it matters for this. ------------- GPJ |

It's a Chevy so the distributor turns Clockwise and if you're going clockwise around the cap with your 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 firing order and it runs, it's the right firing order. You could try the firing order on the valve cover and turn it into an engine that doesn't run.  I think I'd ditch that sticker or at least cross off the firing order.
