2 Quick questions
 
I finally found my problem....I had no power what so ever....the trailing coils are bad. Unhooked them and whalaaa, POWER!

Now my question is, will it hurt my engine if I drive the car without the trailiing coils for a while?

Is there a way I can get my tach to work without the trailing coils being hooked up.

Thanks

I have heard of people running on half of their spark plugs.

But I am by no means an expert. I don't see why it would hurt, though, except for unburnt fuel.

Something's way wrong if you had no power with the trailings firing. Did you make sure your trailing plug wires were on properly? Are your plug wires good?

Plug wires were on correctly (tried reversing them just incase, no diff)

Plug wires are fine. Look like new. Spark Plugs are also good.

Plug the trailing back up, no power, unplug them and runs just like it should.

Replace the trailing coil pack- doesnt have to be new just working condition

Driving with them off will not be good for your car you will get terrible gas mileage and fouled plugs
