cylinder 2 was dead, I swapped only the 1&2 spark plugs and the problem...
What is your question?
cylinder 2 was dead, I swapped only the 1&2 spark plugs and the problem moved to cyl1, so I thought it must be a bad spark plug,... then I swapped only the 1&2 spark plug wires and cyl1 remained dead, then I swapped the wires back... the cyl1 wire is sparking when removed from the spark plug, the cyl1 plug is sparking when the wire & plug assy are removed from the cylinder chamber. can it be a bad plug even tho it is sparking??
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1990 Chevrolet Corsica. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The plug could still be bad and causing a weak spark. Start by replacing them all and if the wires are old you should do those as well. This is more of a complete tune up for the ignition.
