I bought the above car not running well and am now trying to figure out what is wrong with it. I have checked a few things but am not finding anything wrong yet. I traced ad checked the wires. It acts like the plug wires are crossed up. It will run for a few seconds at a time...say like 30-40 seconds then dies...has a hard time starting back up. Then it does run it is missing on like 2 cyl. It shakes bad and will hardly pull itself. It has 127k on it. It pops and backfires through the intake a lot. It's very sick. It does have fire at every coil pack. Guy I bought it from put new wires and plugs in it trying to fix it. Now, lol, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. I'm pretty good with stuff but these electrical problems get me sometimes. Any advice on where to start?
