I wrote a couple of post about the rough idle on my 88 911 cab. I've performed some of the suggestions from this board to see if I could fix the problem.

Change spark plugs, Cap and Rotor
Change the Oxygen Sensor
and a recent oil change (not a suggestion but was needed)

The last thing that was suggested and I finally had time today to try was checking the spark plug cables. I turned on the car pulled off the cables one at a time to see if there was a noticible engine change. On plug 3, 1, 4, and 6 you could hear kind of a drain of power (as I expected). However, 2 and 5 had no noticible change in the engine sound (no drain of power). My Dad said sometimes you can get bad spark plugs from the stores, is this true. I'm using the bosch cooper plugs. Also, is this just an indication of bad wires? or is there something more serious? If you put your hand near the tail pipe the exhaust feels like puffs and not a consistent flow.

Am I looking at big big dollars? (which I don't have right now and will not go over well with my wife).

Any Help as always is very appreciated...Ron Fitz
