Does This Work?

Jackal13 · August 29th, 2011, 04:12 PM

Seen this and curious if it would have any gains in performance and mpg?

"I wonder if there would be a performance improvement to have both spark plugs firing on the combustion stroke? The firing order for the 2.3L is 1-3-4-2 so when cylinder 1 is firing, cylinder 4 is on the exhaust stroke and vice versa. The same applies to cylinders 3 and 2. So I did another test and swapped the ignition wires for the intake side coil pack: swapped cylinder 1 for 4 and vice versa. Did the same for cylinders 2 and 3. Swapping the ignition wires should cause both plugs to fire on the combustion stroke for each cylinder. The engine started up find and then I went for a test ride".

Did you mean the compression stroke? If so, then the answer is yes.

Well tried it for two weeks. It ran like it change a thing. Did notice my mpg
go down. I'll know for sure when I fill up. Also didn't notice any power increase.
As for now not worth doing.

i was wondering the same for my 2.3 i dont think it would do anything just switching the wires sence id be using the same amount of fuel. if i put in bigger injectors then i would get some more power even tho the displacement isnt changing right? if so what options for injectors would i have thanx
