ok so i have a 92 fastback and i cylinder 3 is dead. so far ive switched the spark plug and checked spark, changed the injector and checked to make sure its working. still dead.... i dont think its the maf since the car runs the other three cylinders fine. havent pulled the valve cover yet but did a comp test and got 120. im not really sure what the hell is goin on im asuming no bent valve cuz i have compression.. fried computer maybe? vacum lines look good timing was ok... i dunno i need the nico gods on this one...

well...i have had a few issues with ecu's not firing injectors before...but not spark...so test that cas sensor inside the dizzy first...second...ohm out your plug wires..or switch one that you know is good and see if #3 fires then......do the normal "check grounds" routine...if those check out fine...find a friend with another ECU..drop it in and see if it fires..hope this gets ya going in the rite direction.

CAS = Crank Angle Sensor I believe...And the Dizzy = Distributor

Good luck!
