Did you check the gaps on the plugs when fitting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 plugs now come ready gapped...could be got the wrong plugs! Did you get some grease on an electrode maybe? or the HT leads not quite clipped on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstructorPiggy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Does it miss at idle??? If so, remove the leads one at a time as its running, (then replace obviously!) and see which one makes NO difference to the misfire...then turn engine off and inspect plug...see what colour it is, and look VERY carefully at the ceramic...may have the tiniest of cracks! what make of plugs did you use? also, if it does miss at idle...take it to the darkest place possible, lift bonnet, turn all lights off and look out for any little lightening jumps from the Ht leads/coil to the engine :) Piggy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
