[Roadsters] KA24E missing?

[robert k. smith]

hi paul, i know its a pain, but, ck. all the wiring and harnesses under the
hood.
see if a wire has rubbed through.  look at the plug wires for rubbing or
proximity to metal.  pull the fuel inj. wires off one conn. at a time to
pin point the miss.( im assuming a dead miss, not intermitt.)  use a hose,
or a stethoscope, and listen to the fuel inj.s and see if  one isnt clicking,
or the click sounds different, or softer.
       best of luck, bob smith
