BlackTarw Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 they new or old leads?sounds like one might be dodgy.swap one of your new leads with one of your old leads, one at a time, do that that for each cylinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTarw Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 also if it's a heavy missfire it could be that you're wired them up wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pocketrocket Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 thanks for the idea but the leads are brand new though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTarw Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I wouldn't rule it out, I've been in that situation before with a new set of spark plugs when one was duff.plus it doesn't cost anything to try Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gaz Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 sounds like a plugs gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If it was fine before you fitted your new leads it has to either be a shot plug or firing order chap.Unless you got a dodgy lead in the pack? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 What thickness are the leads? A mate put on some uprated ones which were too thick/thin (can't remeber rightly) and his misfired and held back until he eventually just got a new OEM set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
