Go read the FAQ (sticky at top of forum). Go read the FSM (factory service manual). Go read the archives. If you got any questions after that, feel free to post.

In short,

1. Compression test on your engine,
2. Re-do the wires for grounding
3. ?

No need to read the faq, or post questions in the future any more...

Welcome to the club nevertheless!

IIRC fifth and sixth ports open at 5200RPM's so if your feeling a slight gain in power when you get around there, its not the ports, its something else. my guess would be cloggy fuel filter or injectors, get a new fuel filter and see if it helps
