you see the main problem here is he said everything else was biult right so we are trying to analyze this thru thin air--it is true that most of the time when a miss comes under load it is electrical[but then he said it backfired too/then it started doing it all the time 
ops: ops:
i really think he needs to get someone there [ who does know what they are doing] and go step by step thru the -BASIC THINGS FIRST-- before tearing into the inside of the engine :x :x
way to many mechanics now adays want to think the worst before checking the simple first----i have seen that several times in the last few years that end up costing lots of time and lots of money before they found a cracked connector/ or broken wire/ or something not adjusted correctly
sorry guys but i like to start at basics and go from there :shock: :wink: :wink: :wink:
