A little jerky

Hello All

Can someone please give me some help,  I'm having a problem whilst driving my Campaign.  As i'm driving along, it feels really bumpy, but not a bad susspension bumpy, sort of a jerky bumpy (if that makes sense to anyone).  It doesn't matter what gear i'm in, it seems as though it might be misfiring, but i thought mifiring was a large jerk rather than a lot of small ones, which make it feel as though i'm going over a bumpy road all the time.  It's really starting to hack me off, and making driving the car quite hard work and annoying.
I've looked throught the forum and can't seem to find any posts which sound like what my car is doing.
It's at all times, not just if hot or cold, i seem to have a spark on all cyliders, my plugs all look ok, think the timing is ok too, although there are so many marks quite close to each other on the fly wheel that it could be a little too advanced.
I read in a previous post that the HT leads from GSF are rubbish, is this true, cos that's what i've got on mine and they've been on for over a year.
I know i said it didn't feel like a suspension issue, but could it be, cos i get a lot of shaking and viration through the steering wheel at high speed?

I just don't know, i'm completley lost, i'm almost at the point of taking it to a garage, and that is something i never do.

Please help
Cheers
Tom

ht leads first mate, as theyre cheap and easy

knock out the possibilities cheapest first!

Which type do you suggest?
If the ones i've got have only lasted a year, should i go for better ones?

the best you can afford, think the best are from vw, quantum i think

have a look ere about possible causes

Sound like you're only firing on 3.

As c-au-l said leads, also could be plugs/dis cap/rotor

As with most things, you get what you pay for :wink:

bet its fuel starvation in the end,  

mine was!!

Yea, rust  in the fuel tank,  Magnet time

right what you wanna do is……

     

couple of air cooled mates have now got one ew, and reckon it works

I know it does :wink:

So you recon i should try blowing back through the fuel pipe and see if that works.
Is there a filter near the pump too?

Yes, there is a filter on the lift pump (under the back seat) which often gets overlooked.  A quick and easy place to start IMO.  But don't rule out ignition issues :wink:

check your filler neck, if its rotted atall you can get rust in your tank, you need to work thro the whole system if its that,

sorry, i had ages with something like this, hope yours gets sorted quicker!!

chk your fuel filler neck !!!
