I did swap it out of course
but now I get the gas smell from cranking it
and I took out 2 plug wires on diff banks and they both had spark with a screwdriver method
then for ***** I put my old plug in it and grounded it and zero spark on my plugs they are 2 years old and 2000kms
I used a old head spark plug grounded it on the same spot and it worked perfty
so I ordered some new plug here tomm and try them first
and I think my accel tpi coil that I bought years ago may be weak
I ordered a brand new one on eBay
today
I'm gonna change the plugs tomm and see after that
I'll let you know
it's crazy
