also make sure you're not 180 out.

there is one rule you need to know: if you have an LJ80, you have to post pics. :flipoff2:

Thanks Guys for all the leads.................Joined the 'Pigmy Tribe' Lol.

So before i go pulling stuff apart lets see if anyone has come across this.

l have the plug leads on, #1 on the cap going to the cyl nearest the rad #2 next and so on ............lt will now run on # 3&4 but not on 1 or 2 both are getting spark, lf i hold the plug cap 1cm away from the sparkplug on #1 or 2 it will kinda fire. lts like the front 2 cyls are out of time with the rear 2 has anyone come across this.

how do i post pics?.............the Jeeps a trip someone put a little flat tipper deck on the back and a 'willys' homemade front end.

sounds like the rotor or cap is bad
does it have dual points? if so one set is prolly gone...

yep tried that l have a spare cap, same problem with a different cap...........could it be the coil is shagged?? The thing i still dont understand is why it 'wants' to fire properly when i hold the lead off the plug a 1/2 inch or so..............
