OK I think I have a new problem with the 16v, I think its a misfire but I dont know what one sounds like so I'm kidna guessing a little lol....

I found this clip on youtube and it kinda sounds like this..

So my question is, if it does sound like that what do we reckon the problem could be. I have a list, please feel free to add to it! (my list might be wrong as I'm crap with this stuff)

HT Leads

Spark Plugs

Ignition Coil (its now been replaced twice)

Dizzy (which bit/bits?)

Rotary Arm? (also been replaced)

Thanks dudes and dudettes

get a compresion test done if it still happnin and youve replaced the plugs n leads

its you are plugs the gap between them should be the same on all of them thus giving the right spark at the right time. get the gaps checked ?

the dizzy gives the firing order not the spark plug gaps, thats purly the strength of the spark

you dirty fucker! if u were on 3 you would know as it would be slow as fuck and sound like a scooby lol
