Plugs/Cap/Rotor/Wires Problem *UPDATE* 200

Well, I found the problem. Learn from this as it is not the type of problem you would expect.

Napa indeed sold me the wrong plug wires. In fact, they do not even carry the correct plug wires for a '92 240. The Napa wires had a resistance of 9000ohms and the correct Bosch wires that I bought tonight (from my new favorite parts store Metric Auto Parts) had a resistance of 900ohms! Big difference. I put them in and the ol' girl fired right up.

What I have learned is Napa has the newer plug wire ends on the older plug wire "wire" because the pre-87 wires had a resistance of 9000ohms. I'm not crazy and I'm not incompetent like some of the posters assumed. =) Thanks for the help.

-Chad
