Are you getting spark at all? Check the "windoes" in your flex plate.Sometimes they are incorrect on aftermarket.And you will get strange symptoms just like that. Evidently the window machin ing can be different. The windows are what controls when your spark happens.

It's the tail end of summer. Most, but not all, are out Jeeping or getting ready for winter. Replies will come but be patient if they're a little slow in coming.
