I just had the motor rebuilt, stabbed motor n hooked everything up. My issue is when I hook up all eight wires it will barely run If at all. But, when I disconnect the exhaust side wires it runs fine. Can't figure out why it won't run with all eight wires on the 4 cyl. Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated! Thanks

Possible that the exhaust wires are not in the correct order?

Pretty sure I have them on right. Been workin on cars for 20 years, now I rebuild jet engines for the dep of defense. Not to say I couldn't have made a mistake. Thanks for the input, I will ensure they are installed properly. If they are on right, what else could it be? I've been suggested that maybe a bad coil?

It's just weird that it runs fine without the exhaust wires. ?
