Toyota Repair: Toyota Celica, coolant temp, spark plug wire


Question
Have a 92 Celica GT 2.2 auto. Had an overheat due to leak in water hose. Fixed hose. During fix, broke a Start Injector Time Switch - replaced. Also broke a coolant temp sensor - replaced. (difficult time getting the hose lose). Had a spark plug wire burnt - replaced and checked all 4 plugs - ok. Put all back together, started and engine runs smooth even smooth up to 3000 rpm sitting still. Now the problem, once I drive down the road, it sputters and loses power anytime I accelerate or start up an incline. Could I have missed a vacuum hose or something when putting all together? I've looked, everything seems fine under the hood. Engine runs smooth except when accelerating and under load. Thank you in Advance..

Answer
Everett,
You have a misfire on one of the ignition wires,boots, or spark plugs. All the wires and boots must be inspected very close for cracks. The way to find the culprit is with a high tension flash
tester that you lay on one wire at a time and watch the flash difference.
