ovp, wiring harness, oil leaking into plug holes in the head, shorting a coil or, bad coil. (pull it, remove the resistor tip and look for oil in the hole, if it's leaking, it'll be bad now or soon, they overheat and break) dynamic chamber flap (resonance flap) on the manifolds will also fall apart sending rubber and plastic into it, holding valves open and causing it to skip and/or backfire. (pull it and see if the flap is coming apart)



Joe

did this happen right after a fill uP, if so take a fuel sample first and look for water, or dump a can of dry gas in it for the hell of it
