Question Is my dizzy bad?

rtek st2 n374 ecu (Shouldn't change anything but just a note)...

I took the plug wires off and took out my dizzy and turned it by hand to see which plugs were firing at what time and this is what I found...

Each line is to show what fires at the same time!

T1, L1 & L2
T2, L1 & L2
T1, L1 & L2
T2, L1 & L2
T1, L1 & L2
T2, L1 & L2

Rince & Repeat...

The trailing plugs alternate and each time one of them fires, BOTH leading plugs fire.

So each time I get spark, there are 3 plugs that fire at the same time!

Shouldn't only 2 plugs fire at any one time?

I took both leading plug wires off and it still won't start...
Then I took the trailing wires and hooked them up to the leading plugs... Still wouldn't start...

Ah, so the leading plugs are supposed to both fire simultaniously with each trailing plug.

Thanks confab.
