I need help

I just had my optispark distributor replaced and now I have a misfire and my engine shakes and doesn’t have much power. I check my spark plug wires and they all have spark. I believe I have a misfire. Any suggestions?

Did you replace the opti yourself?

Double check the wires. Possible a wire has been crossed. Was anything wrong with the old optispark? Factory optisparks can be cleaned and work fine. Aftermarket optisparks are notorious hunks of crap.

The opti went out completely I was driving and my engine cut off and it would crank but wouldn’t start. I cannot figure out how to see the driver side distributer where the plugs connect without taking everything apart again any tips?
