Engine runs the same (crappy) with or without #3 plug wire and or injector wire, WHY!!?? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve on  Mon Jan 14 10:00 CST 2002 [RELATED]

There is absolutely no change in engine (b23ftI) sound or speed when I completly remove the #3 cylinder plug wire, the exact same is true when I remove the #3 injector wire. So I did the logical things pulled the brand new spark plug and checked for spark... tons of spark! Pulled the fuel rail to check for a malfunctioning or clogged injector... Wow was I ever surprised to see 4 perfectly atomized streams of fuel coming from all injectors. Then I Checked the cylinder compression... 65psi. So why is it that my engine is running on only 3 cylinders? I am sure if #3 came back to life it would run good again.

P.s. There is NO coolant or oil consumption

Please help!

Thank you!

Steve
