Spongebob Squareback runs POORLY
 

I have a 1970 Volkswagen Squareback. It is currently running on cylinders 2 and 3. Not 1 and 4. So I am fairly sure it is not a problem with the points.
Just did an ohm test, all 4 cylinders read zero. This is really a problem because the car still runs..... I have no idea what the problem could be.
This is a fuel injected engine. Is it the spark plugs, sp wires, fuel injectors, valves, ignition even. I am entirely stumped.

Anyone who has the smallest bit of advice...I'd be open to hearing it.
Thanks. :confused:

Is it sparking on 2 and 4 when running? pull the plug wire off 2 or 4 while its running and hold it next to a ground (it should spark)
like they say there is only three things you need air fuel and spark. in the right timing of course. Are the plugs fouling on 2 and 4?
Its a start anyhoo

Sparking
 

Bullyboy

All plugs spark, yet when disconnected at the distributer, 1 and 4 don't make a change...not running.
So there is spark, but for some reason the cylinders 1 and 4 aren't getting any power.
We picked up some more spark plug wires...maybe that will do the trick...but part of me thinks that if there is spark at all the wires should be working like they should.
I am guessing it is the fuel injectors.
Does this sound wrong?
I really know nothing about cars.

Thanks for the insight,

in regards to
Spongebob Squareback :bawling:

Ck the grounds , what kind of spark plug you running ??, Ck for air leak

Is your ECU getting the right signals from the injection part of the D-jet distributor? This is seperate to ignition..

Do you have a workshop manual that covers Type3 D-jet?
