Re: will not idle and seems to run on 3 cylinders
have you checked things like valves? as if they are tight when cold the engine will run but as it warms expansions kicks in and suddenly they run like pants.....
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!

Its electronic ignition.
I have now discovered that it does have a low compression.
Does anybody have a spare engine for sale?
