    Since the computer system is made for a 2.2 engine, this may be a really difficult thing to over come. Make sure that the engine is in time with it self by checking the cam and crankshaft alignment marks. Make sure that you have spark and make sure that the plug wires are routed correctly. the coils have little numbers on them, so that is how you check that routing of the plug wires.
