Swapped out the coil and the same thing. It will jump a 1/2 gap from the wire to the block. I still have yellow spark at the plugs. The insulator plate does not have any arc tracks but there is a small crack in the lip. I changed the cap and rotor a few miles ago with non bosch parts. Each plug is getting spark and they are wet with fuel.

My CPS reads 879 ohms at the EZL. I read somewhere that removal and cleaning it may help

Any ideas? could it be a cap failure? Spark and fuel - should at least sputter I would think. Like my wife keeps telling me. It ran just fine.

Thanks
