I have an N/a vl and the idle is alll over the place, the car really shakes around and carrys on. I think my injectors aren't firing cause now the car dosent even start. What would be a good way to see if the injector loom is working?? Any other ideas would be great thanks

hmmmm could be crank angle sensor. If the car just cranks and dosent catch on firing, then it could be the CAS.... they go all the time on vls.

Well i tested the injector loom today and they are firing. And Believe you me thier is plent of spark i felt it today! Ive pulled the injectors out today and pressurized the fuel rail and they dont leak and when i activate them they squirt fine. I found my distriburtor cap loose today, which im quite sure wasnt before it went to the shop. Pulled it out checked timing ect and it looks like someone has been playing around in thier. Ive since rebuilt the whole thing but im not sure which way the disc goes up. It looks cemetrical but i could be wrong. I read on a post a that if the disc is up the wrong way it can cause a bad idel or no idel. How do you tell which way it goes up??? Any idears would be great
