My roommate just bought an '86 with the old GM 2.8. I know POS. But hell it was only $600. Anyways, the jeep was running....barely, but it would drive. So we decided to do a tune-up. Changed the plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor, cleaned all the grounds and checked the vac lines. Now it won't spark at the plugs. We took the ignition plug off the top of the cap, and hooked it up to an open spark plug. Big spark. Now we hook that back to the dist. and check the spark at the plugs...and only half the plugs spark. The 2,4,6 cylinders have spark, but the opposite side of the engine...cylinders 1,3,5, don't have any spark. Were in the process of looking for a 3.4, but we wanted to at least get on the trail first.
We even tried two dist. caps and two rotors, put the old stuff on and the same thing happens. Although when we did finalize everything, then egine started...ran for a min..then slowly died. Now it won't start.
I know someone here knows whats up. Help us out here..
