I have a 96' 240sx with a ka-t motor. I just swaped a motor in that has 40,000 miles on it. We started the car up and the # 4 cylinder is acting like it's, so we checked the injector and it was fine, replaced the distributor cap, rotor button, wires and plugs and did a compression test on all cylinders (152-154 compression) and the # 4 cylinder is still dead. We also pulled the plug and it was fine (not coated in gas or oil) Anybody know what this could be. could bad timing be causing this problem?

Thanks,
Ted

#4 cylinder acts like it's what?

Do you have a spark on the #4 plug? Can you verify it is getting fuel?

Ok I figured it out. For some wierd reason the distributor was 180 degrees out. That was causing the #1 and #4 cylinder to act as if they were dead. I turned the distributor and it fixed everything.

Thanks,
