SpeedFreak Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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.PeaceJoz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
