ok so here is how i see it i think number three is firing on the exhaust stroke as well as the intake stroke. it should do that..but it shouldnt have fuel for both sparks hence the wasted spark ignition. but because its getting fuel it is goin pop bang backfire and boom. i went up down and all over the wires and all that. there not new but from another sportage and in prime shape. all thats left for me to try is #3 injector being stuck open. btw i love the older bugs been trying to get my hands on one to turn baja for a dd...cause i found me some axles for a sas.

thanks for the ideas tho. no one else has responded
