SE trouble update II

Well! i towed it.. found out only 1 of 4 plugs is firing like it should ( pulled it out and it was miraculously CLEAN! while the other where covered with gas...and carbon.. and a little bit of oil..) However we got it to run and took it to 5K then tried to shift and it died out.. ( took all the slack out of the chain going UP HILL .. then it all went back into it after she died then was put in gear..) however i'm fairly sure it's not my ECU or pressure sensor any more since we had the gas pedal fully depressed and it MOVED and since my pressure sensor it ghetto rigged with the hollow striaght part of a pop rivet.. also my spark is a little weak.. since all 4 DO spark.. just they are extremely weak sparks so i will be cleaning up contacts thuroughly and checking grounds and if nothing else.. i'm fairly sure a pair of HD blast coils should fix my trailing plug firing problem.. still trying to figure out how to wire a set for the leads.. however.. the quest CONTINUES for the SE to run and stay running.

Also forgot to mention both front and rear rotors now have excellent compression instead of the front having more then the rear..

If the spark is weak, chances are that it is bad plugs or bad plug cables before it is the coils.

Most people don't even bother installing aftermarket coils, definitely try another good set of spark wires
