Why would a 1987 Nissan z24 miss and shake at different speeds if plugs wires distributor cap and rotor have been replaced and there is 175 pounds compression on 3 cylinders and 150 on number two?

Why would a car not have all the cylinders firing even after replacing the spark plugs and wires?
You distributor cap and rotor should also be replaced. If still no spark. check the compression on the low cylinders to see if you have good compression.
What makes the engine miss.new plugs wires carb valves set the only thing i have not replaced is distributor car and rotor?
When you replaced the plugs, did you check the compression? Did any of the plugs look different than the others? Low compression in one cylinder can cause misfiring. But then, so can a faulty distributor cap.
Mercury Capri 1991 runs but won't stay running Stalls out after you get going. Replaced distributor new plugs wires cap and rotor It will stutter like it loses fuel for a second and picks back up on o?
Check the compression in your cylinders
What makes a 90 GEO Storm GSI dual overhead cam fire on only 2 cylinders after I have replaced coil coil and plug wires distributor cap and rotor and set timing?
low compression on 2 cyclenders ALT ANSWER: You have two cylinders swaped on the cap. I did it to mine. Try swaping 1 & 3.
Where is the coil for a 1997 lx Chrysler cirrus?
On the 4 cylinders it is on the top center of the engine. On the 2.5L V6 it is built inside the distributor and is not servicable, the whole distributor has to be replaced.
Does engine need to be replaced when there is no compression?
If there is NO compression on any of the cylinders, you've probably slipped the timing belt/chain. Just knowing that there is no compression is insufficient information to make a decision about replacing the engine. You COULD need to have the engine rebuilt, or it's possible that a valve "kissed" a piston and the engine is toast. Or... it could be something else. If it's just low compression in one or two cylinders, it could even be caused by burned or sticking valves.
Why would a 1991 Ford Taurus 4-cylinder not run on all cylinders if the plugs wires rotor distributor cap and coil have all been replaced?
Check the firing order which is 1-3-4-2 , if it is correct you may need to have a wet and dry compression test to check the condition of the valves, rings etc.
93 Ranger 23L has poor acceleration and little power after having timing belt replaced could the pushrods have been bent when the belt snapped?
Run a compression test. If only one cylinder has low compression, it's probably a damaged valve or pushrod. If the compression is low in all cylinders the cam is probably not timed correctly.
1990 acura integra put used Japanese motor in car replaced distributor with new rebuit motor starts and runs rough like out of time moving distributor doesn't make any difference?
verify that the engine is timed properly if that's ok check your compression and vacuum
How do you change the chip in a 1998 mercury villager distributor cap?
There is no "chip" that can be replaced in the distributor, it is serviced as a unit. There is no chip in the distributor cap.
Why do they used sleeved cylinders?
They can be replaced, avoiding the necessity to be 'bored out' .
What are distributor problems?
You may need to have it rewired or have it replaced.
