I wouldn't use sandpaper, there's just too much risk of introducing some sand into the cylinder. If you're going to need new plugs anyway you should probably just go get new ones and put those in.

You're swapped? I think you should have included that in the first post, so people have a better idea of you setup, sorry, I don't know everyone's setup by heart.

Originally I thought it might have sounded like some bad gas. I guess you're looking at the typical swap troubleshooting, made a little easier, cause you know your timing is ok, because they car has been running.

So, spark, fuel, check wiring/grounds. Best wishes man, sorry about the hard luck lately (you had some other issues?)

Ok my book says to check these:

Loose or faulty electrical connections at the distributor, coil or alternator

Insufficient fuel reaching the fuel injectors

Vaccum leak at the gasket btween the intake manifold and throttle body.

Dunno if this might be a problem, but is your ECU working?

Ok I just remembered that I am using water as a sub for Antifreeze due to my leak . Now I flushed all the lines and tried starting the car again and nothing . But if I use starter fluid it will stay on as long as I keep spraying . Now AGAIN I dissconected my fuel rain with the injectors hooked up and they spray all at diffrent times like 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 " don't know if thats the pattern but useing it as an example . All fuses are good all plugs are tight all grounds are fine . Spark coming from distro . Umm ......... Batt is good alt is fine .
