hi bit of weird one here,on tick over my 2000 uk classic seems to have a slight missfire,is fine driving but wen u get to a junction it makes car feel abit jumpy,sometimes worse than others,have put new plugs in and no differance,then thought it was coil so got a second hand one of ebay but does same as mine which is with engine runnin,usin plyers i pulled off each ht lead from coil end and the top left didnt make any differance and dont seem to spark like all the others do,anyone who has read this far got any ideas or come across this?

cheers

 

btw its a 1997 2l turbo awd 2000 uk

 

Have you tried swapping one of the leads over, and seeing if the 'dead' spark moves to a different cylinder?

 

nah cos spark not comin out coil?how wud a lead cause this?wil try tomo

 

anymore ideas?

 

i wouldnt worry to much. I know mine only does it slightly and all is well with it. Or is yours more noticeable. I think in idle its trying to keep engine at right revs and sometimes does up a little someone will come a long to explain better then me.

 

Mine has always done it on rare occasions very faintly but worse when hot in hot weather. New plugs didn't help mine. Think it just runs a leanish idle and spark has a hard time igniting the lean mixture.

 

thanks for replys,i see wot ur sayin but it didnt do it and then just started so to me that says sumink not rite,also its started gettin stuttery now lower rang of revs,goin to do compression test tomo...hope that turns out to be fine or it goin to be exspensive lol
