Blaaah… I’m gonna go with “oh, my bad” on this one since even I realize that my counter-point of two holes existing, each near the air feed for the two specific cylinders that aren’t firing properly is extremely far-fetched. Gomennasaaaaai! :oops: ---

On that note, could it be possible that your coil is somehow not putting out a strong enough spark? ---

After a week of looking, my mechanic had found that the **coolant temperature sensor** had failed. Didn’t know it would have this result, but I guess that makes sense considering what it does. He also advised & installed a new (high-flow, huge) cat & spark plugs. Car runs like a charm again. 8) ---
