    another misfire thread (poss injector related)

    have you stuck a screw driver in the boot and held it about an inch from ground while someone cranked it? if you see it arc to ground the loose connection is probably the culprit. otherwise check the connection at the coil with a multimeter and verify that youve got an ignition signal going to it.
