This mornings adventure
Ok, so today I revisited wiring. I had two inline spark detectors which were both utter pieces of total &*%*&%* chinese crap. I started using the first one not knowing I had another. The first one was a hunk of ****, I had to keep crimping it close or it would not hold on the plug. I tossed it and found another I had purchased awhile back and never used. Same deal.
Eventually I made it through and it seemed to me that bank two spark was not correct. I decided to swap my cheap ass chinese wires back to the originals on bank 2 only, because I wasnt sure if they were any good. In a few cases, the conectors were just popping right out of the bushings and they just seemed like complete junk. But it did not seem to help. I retested with the inline spark, it was futile and so I switched over to the cheap ass chinese induction probe.
Again, bank 1 seems reasonably periodic, not perfect but certainly better than bank 2. What I noticed with Bank 2 was that cyl 2 was not too bad, but not as good as any on bank 1. But that as I moved to 4, 6, and then to 8, it got steadily worse.
So lets see so far, two compression tester hoses, two spark detectors, a set of spark plug wires...all complete junk.
That's all I made it to this morning.
Does that seem to have any significance?
