Hi Tom,

thanks for the feedback. Because the engine was cold i the values are OK – engine should run with this values on all 6 cylinders.

Could you please check these things:

Is the exhaust system on the left free floating. Means maybe you have a clogged / blocked catalysator and the exhaust gas can't escape.

Same for the intake. Please check if everything is free and nothing is in there - no air, no explosion.

Check if all sparks ignite.

If you have a tool to check if you have ignition on sparks when motor is running, please check that. In german it's called ignition lamp - don't know wthe correct english term is. It visualizes spark ignition.

Hope that helps or maybe get's you another idea what you still can test.

Regards and fingers crossed
Markus

PS: it's always a bit tricky for me to describe these things in english, because i don't always know the correct technical terms. If something is misleading, please ask.
