jh firing on 3cyl. intermittent

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

can I suggest something?

Remove the platiniums and put back 3 electrodes Super Copper Bosh plugs back
in there, the 8v was never designed to NOT have resistance in the plugs (why
the plugs are resistance plugs that came with teh car).

Another thing check your wire from distributor to plug to see if it is
cracked internally (if you could change it it to see)

=>Hey listers I am still having the same problem with my JH 1.8L 8V (cis not
=>cis-e) that I have had since I owned this car.  I've posted about
=>this a lot
=>and have done everything to try to figure it out and fix it.  Even one of
=>the local VW mechanics couldn't figure it out.
=>
=>Problem: Engine fires on 3 cyl. intermittently and usually acts up after
=>hammer the throttle....
=>
=>Things checked:
=>
=>1) Compression 125 psi.........very good
=>
=>2) Spark.......yes there was a great spark....new Bosch +4 platinum plugs,
=>new bosch wires, new bosch cap and rotor
=>
=>3) fuel)  yes there was fuel flowing and we checked the spray
=>pattern and it
=>was excellent!!!
=>
=>Things replaced recently: Fuel pump and Fuel filter.
=>
=>SO WTF?
=>
=>If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to enlighten me :)
