HT Leads - Advice needed

[SpeedFreak]

Hi all,

I need some advice : Basically I am having some sort of miss through something spark related. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Are there any common faults that I dont know about?

I have had the spark plugs changed, and although it calmed down a bit, I still keep getting the miss when putting my foot down.

Any help is much appreciated

It could be:

Spark plugs

HT leads

Rotor arm

Distributor Cap

possibly something to do with the battery?

[SpeedFreak]

No I don't think its anything to do with the battery.

How much would it cost for each of these?

HT leads

Rotor arm

Distributor Cap

Is there anything pushing against the distributor?

This would cause one of the leads to be misplaced causing a temporary loss of spark/misfiring.

I had it happen to me with my induction kit.

Peace

HT leads

Rotor arm

Distributor Cap

Around £30-£40 for half decent leads, but if you go for Magnecor or whatever they're called they're something like £70?

Dizzy Cap is around a tenner

Rotor Arm - I have a brand new one for sale, I bought it thinking the FE/FTE rotor arms would be the same lol, they're £17 from Toyota IIRC
