Hi, Steven.<br /><br />Please don't shout HELP!!! There are a lot of guys waiting patiently for help. You will get your turn.<br /><br />First confirm that all cylinders are making power by pulling/shorting plugs.<br /><br />Then determine if the dead cylinder(s) have spark.<br /><br />Let us know what you find. good luck.
