hey guys
my daily driver is a 94 ford taurus and it started misfiring
it wasnt so bad when i first started the car, but got worse as the car warmed up
i did a cylinder balance test (if anyone is familiar with ford's eec IV system)
and it showed me that cylinders 1 and 4 were completely dead
(cylinders 1 through 3 on the rear bank, 4 through 6 on the front bank)
i did a compression test and all 6 cylinders were giving me 160-165 psi
my guess was that the problem was ignition related because the distributor cap, rotor and wires have not been changed since i got the car over 50k miles ago (the car now has 102k miles)
i changed the plugs wires cap and rotor and the car was misfiring worse
turns out that was because accidentally switched two of the spark plug wires
i put the wires in the right order, and i'm 100% sure of it
now i go to start it up, the motor spins but doesnt start
any ideas what the problem could be?
