: Neighbor has a 4 banger that seems to only run on one cylinder part of the time. It has new plugs,wires & dist. The front (#1) plug looks good but the remaining three are wet. Not much power. : Odd thing is that if you disconnect #2, #3 or #4 plug wires there is no change but when you reconnect it and have the wire just starting on the plug the RPMs increase noticably. With all three of the wires just haning on the power is improved. : This is no way to run a tractor. Any Suggestions I can pass to my neighbor. I'm thinking that the "new" spark plugs are fouled. When the plug wire is held away from the plug the voltage is increased and this causes the spark to jump the gap in the spark plug instead of following the easy path down the porceline around the center electrode.
