Been looking on here for a while to try and sort my misfire problem out. I changed the dizzy cap and the rotor arm, had a new meter head and had the co2 adjusted but nothing seems to work. The HT leads look brand new and there is also a new coil on it. Was wondering if the timing was out and if this is something i can adjust? Also was wondering about the head gasket and if this could be a potential problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Alex

Its all about smiles per miles….
Try a tank full of super unleaded and see if that helps.

Just keep the old ones in the boot incase like me you pull the end off the lead while changing the dissy cap!

Had another crack at the car today, changed the HT leads but the problem is still happening. i popped the injectors out and 3 of the 4 seals had cracks in them and were were flattened out a bit on the one side. Could this be a cause? I'm running out of ideas now, i think this is going to cost more than i was anticipating. Lol.
Any ideas?
