Re: Go devil problem First thing that comes to mind is it isn't running on both cylinders - common problem being the diode in the kill wires gone bad causing 1 coil pack to "kill" the other... You can check by pulling 1 spark plug wire with the engine running - if it dies, that's the "dead" cylinder, if it still runs, try pulling the other spark plug wire (1st put the 1 you just pulled back on - lol!)

Re: Go devil problem X2 on check the coils. Also diode may have gone bad. Mine did replaced both coils then I realized diode wire was fried.
