Hi all,
My 2.3 suddenly lost power (didn't quit) here a few days ago. Dist was worn inside on contacts, replaced. New plugs and wires as well. Confirmed spark on all 4 cylinders. Checked pulse on injectors 1, 2 and 3, electrical good there. New low and high pressure pumps, confirmed they work and pressure at the rail. Engine starts and runs, but appears to be running without cylinders 3 and 4, no power at all. Also heats up very rapidly and i can hear a rattle. I checked cam and rockers, no obvious trouble there. Also confirmed crank and cam are correctly in sync.
Any ideas about the source of this would be greatly appreciated. Plug 1 is sooty where plug 4 looks like it just came out of the box.
