Hey everyone. Can bad gas cause you 1 or more of your pistons not to fire? The gas has been in the tank for 2 years...dumb I know.
Everything else seems to be okay plugs gaped and replaced, new rotor, getten spark on all 4. Even patted her on the bumper all to no avail.
If gas is the issue just fill her up?

do you have two plug wires connected to the wrong cylinders?

Checking your plug wires is a good start.

Presuming the plug wires are in the correct, I would pull the plugs to see what their condition is and consider replacing them.
