Whatever part sends the signal must have been getting weak, and now that I've messed with it, finally went dead.
The Red connector, plugged in or not, makes no change.

It looks like I had a couple of problems here. Fuel is solved. Cylinder is wet.
I need to find where the RED connector gets it's signal and go from there.

Thanks for all your help guys!
I've got to come back in here to ask one question based on the above statement..

Fault:: No spark to left cylinder...

spark ok to right cylinder...

what you know..all spark plugs are new..right coil works, right HT lead works right plug cap works..

What you don't know Left coil?? left HT lead??? left plug cap??

What you have done...

Tersted left coil by swapping to right...coil works...

What haven't you done ....tested left HT leads or plug caps..or have you?

John.
