Jorge,
I have not followed all the prior thread here, so my suggestion may have been
done already - but this was my problem a few months ago.
BAD rotor in the distributor. They look fine to the eye, but there has been a
string of bad quaility out of China. Buy a new one that looks different/is
from a different manufacturer. I had two bad ones in a row.
