BAZ2CRAZY Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 it is as you described mate and is probably the same problem.i have a load of pics concerning the ignition.cyl 1cyl 2cyl 3cyl 4and dizzy cap(not in cylinder order)1234and notice the white corroded clumps that have come off the points.and the rotor armCyl 2 and 4 look fouled and over fueled where as 3 looks lean and one looks ok!what do you guys make of this?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Looks like my spark plugs/dizzy cap/rotor arm did a good few months ago before I serviced it. Mine was slightly lumpy on idle but I didn't have the lumpy acceleration like you do.Replace the lot mate, you already have new HT leads so just get spark plugs/dizzy cap/rotor arm, and depending on how long ago the oil was last changed have it flushed out and oil changed. But those plugs look fucked lol no wonder it's not running well.Might aswell get the rolla mani on there aswell while you're at it, you will notice a BIG difference doing all that lot at the same time.

ste91 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Try new plugs first. if they foul up quickly, you have an issue, but your plugs at the moment look WELL shagged! Oh an Baz, my car was a 200sx. It was a UK car with the CA18DET.I don't know shit about Nissan S cars, but wouldn't that make it a 180SX? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 rubix: oh is it? i thought it was jdm. either way, nice as foook!and yeh i laughed when i saw the plugs hahaha, replaced them today, already ironed out some of the lumpy acceleration, so im definatly on the right track with the problems being 'ignition caused'.As for the rolla mani, i think im going to rebuild the the head with new valve stem seals, and while im at it, fit the rolla mani + alu pipe and filter.its really drinking oil, Is there any way of know whwther its the rings or the stem seals that need replacing?or would there just be sod all power due to the rings leaking.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
