dianosing secondary ingition

[Koenigturbo]

What test can I do at home to see if I have a secondary ignition problem. How do I know if I have a problem with the secondary ignition? I've had this same missfire at idle before and after I rebuilt the engine, so it can't be valve's. Besides this missfire is not consistant I would like to try to avoid bring it to the shop.
Yes, I have new H.G.K. plugs.

have you re-grounded your igniter? how old are your coils? plug wires in good shape? engine grounds good?

these would be some good places to start.

Yep, the wires are new, the coil packs (Im guesing, is probaly still original). engine grounds are good. Igniter reground?? Please explain. yes, your right, I could start as you describe. What about the C.P.S?? Couldn't the C.P.S have a bad bearing causing the pick ups to have more or less gap? After all, I do see a lot of members looking for a C.P.S.
I guess it could be anything at this point.

inspection of the gaps and pickup coil resistances would be a good idea as well. If you want to troubleshoot it right, do all troubleshooting as per the IG section of the TSRM.
