Borgweiser Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Spark plugs, your first point of call also check for water in fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Condensor? Leads? Leads are pretty simple to check. swap a couple and see if the misfire follows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse25 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Haya i gt a compresion tester if ya wnt?free tonite or tomorrow Cheers for coming around tonight! Results were N:1 127 N:2 128 N:3 129 N:4 134 i guess this is right for a 8.0:1 compression assuming is the low compression engine, someone might know what i should expect? I changed the coil, that fixed it, only thing is the coil that came out is a newish looking on from repco, had 3.5ohm across it, 9v across the terminals when the car was running, I put one of those bosch blast coils in with 1.5ohm as that's all i had lying around, seemed to run fine with no ballast resistor, but only had 3v across the coil? isnt the resistor supposed to drop the voltage from 12 down to 9? not sure why its showing only 3, But anyway runs well for now, took it for a drive!
