I've been chasing an idle issue ghost and ran into something that I've never come across. After replacing my MAF relays, CTS, and cleaning the MAF sensor itself; the L98 didn't want to fire on all cylinders initially. I took my timing light to test each wire for consistant firing spark. On the passenger side all four New Taylor wires worked as expected, but when I went to test the plug wires on the drivers side, I could't get my light to flash. I hooked it up to number 1 near the spark plug and got a correct flashing, but as I went back up the wires nearer the distributor, I couldn't get the timing light to read.
I know that I'm getting a strong spark off the new distributor cap, as my wife watched me body slam across the front fender like a dolphin when the MSD spark box bit hard! Wow, I've never felt an ignition kick like that before! It was like going from coolaid to triple expresso!!
So why wouldn't I be getting a timing light reading on the driver's side plug wires. Every thing is new and improved on this. Nitro-Nicky
