What is a KOER cylinder balance test ???
it runs fine one day and the next It feels like no power then the next day the power is
i'm a old school hot rodding back from the 70's. I would start at checking the spark at each cyl to make sure it's there then go from their.
I have new plugs,wires,msd coil. msd6al-2 box and it seams like it should have more power then what it dose
Ignore him. MSD coils are fine, until they start buzzing.why do you say that I have used their coil in a couple of other cars and it felt like it did more good then harm ....
Jump the 2 wires in the engine bay with a paper clip for the engine diagnostics... turn car on. After codes stop flashing floor the gas briefly then it will start its compression test. Should take about 5 minutes.
Well, for one, the code reader won't do a cylinder balance test... which is what he was instructing on how to perform.And then how will he know if a cylinder is not 100%?
OP: Just buy a $20 code reader and be done with it. It's easier than counting check engine light flashes.

And the cylinder balance test will tell you if a specific cylinder is not contributing properly.
But you would have known that if you had looked at my posts.
I know what a cylinder balance test is lol.
