inter. weak leading spark

this is hard to track down because it only happens SOMETIMES.

i'll have VERY weak leading spark (no fire for 3 or for hits..then blink)

as its running it sounds like its on 1 rotor...then blip..blip...blip...bliiiiiiiiiip and its cleared up (takes about 3 minutes)

i'll let the car warm up and it sits there idling fine..then as soon as i give it gas..it sounds like its on 1 rotor again...holding the throttle open...blip.......blip......bliiiip then its fine for the rest of the time its running.

so which is it..ignitor, coil, dizzy(dizzy itself, cap, rotor) wires(new), plugs?

Time to upgrade. If you hurry, you might be able to get one of the transistor trick boxes (see thread), but he's leaving the States in a couple of days. This mod should total around 45 bucks (25 for the box, and 20 for the 2nd gen coil pack). I HIGHLY recommend this, the gains are awesome!
