this is not a compression or an oil foul issue. cyl #2, the one it has weak to no spark on, actually has the highest compression out of all 3 on that side! it has 180lbs.

this is also NOT a spark plug issue. as the weak to non existant spark is present even when bypassing the spark plug altogether and grounding the spark plug wire directly to the block.

thats why this is so maddening.

the distributor cap has been check and has NO CONTINUITY from the affected contact point to the block, so its not grounding out, nor does it have any continuity to either of its adjoining cylinder contact points. so the spark is not going to either of the neighboring cylinders.

as stated before, there is a weak spark (no spark when warm) coming directly from the coil as evidenced by the very light carbon on the #2 contact undert the distribuotr cap as compared to the rest of the cylinders, ONLY when it fires on #2.
