Brand new coil arrived and is installed. The old coil tested bad..there is no question about that.
I have the coil wired exactly correctly. The car starts and runs, but idles badly very quickly. I can tell the computer is "hunting" for a happy idle...it occurs in 3 distinct stages whereby the car will idle too fast but stops "missing", then will idle too slow and almost die, then idle at the proper speed but stumble and miss terribly. It will cycle like this for about 4 times and then settle on proper idle speed with #2 cylinder missing totally (I can unplug the spark wire and the car will idle exactly the same. #2 IS getting spark.) This is precisely how it ran before the new coil.
Driving the car is impossible. Zero power anywhere in the rev range and some misfiring (in the intake).
I have not been able to get the car to run properly since completing head gaskets and timing belt. So I guess my question is, does this sound like bad cam timing? I have checked and re-checked the cam and crank timing, and tension, and everything looks to be dead on flawless.....
My other thought is intake leak, but I don't see many places where that could occur....3 small vacuum lines, one blow-by line, and the intake hose?
any help = good karma
