Do you want some help in the matter? If so you need to post up more information, if not, don't post at all.

sounds like someone had their way with your wire arrangement in the middle of the night... do you have any enemies that would do such a thing?

Are all your spark plugs plugged in? My 240 is currently running on 3 cylinders do to problems with the valves, and my dad's C-cab broke a rocker arm and was running on 7 cylinders for a day but jeez, one cylinder. That's a new one to me.

Need more info. Try pulling out all your spark plugs. Check to see if any of them are badly damaged or have a profuse amount of oil on them. The plugs can tell you a lot about engine problems. Also compression check it. That's all I can think of to do with the info you've given.

Actually, better yet, take it to a mechanic. It seems like you don't know a whole lot about your car. I could be wrong, just try to be more specific.
