Starts better with 3 spark plugs than all 4
So yesterday I'm attempting to fire up my new build (old rotors, new irons and rotor housings) and I'm having a real hard time getting it to start.
I pulled the L1 plug out to check to see if it was firing, turned the key and it started up.
I put the plug back in and again, wldn't start.
After I checked the engine bay for gremlins tried starting again with the plug in and the haltech sw showed the cranking rpm's to be right around 198/200, so I'm thinking the higher compression of the new engine is giving the worn starter a hard time. Release the pressure a bit by pulling a plug and the starter doesn't have to work as hard, starts it right up (even tho missing 25% of the spark).
Gonna try a new starter today. Definitely one of the weirder things I've experienced with this car.
