Just a recap, 1985 Toyota Corolla 4AC Engine. This thing is baffling me. It is firing (and running on) cylinders 4 and 2. I have a very light spark on 1 and 3 Lying a plug on the block while running. However when i place the wires back on the plugs in the block it makes no difference at all. I have changed the plugs in these two cylinders and changed the wires. No difference. Equal compression readings on all 4 cylinders. Is there a pickup in the distruibtor that has died on the 1 and 3 side or something? The coil has 1 pickup point so i wouldnt think it can differentiate wich cylinder its feeding.There is a star shaped unit under the rotor button and some type pickup that gets readings from it. Anyone have any ideas?

Too bad we couldn't be of any help, not too many own that motor in here that I know of.

I would really like to know what this issue was because my 85 corolla has this exact same problem. Tried every thing I could think of with no change
