VRob6 0 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 just changed the plugs and leads and now there is a noticeable lumpyness in the running of my beloved. like a misfire but the engine sounds normal. at idle there is a wobble throughout the car.she still runs but feels a little flat? may just be me.did i do something wrong?how can i put it right?Rob Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 The two most obvious ( school boy errors ) are not tightening the spark plugs enough, often made by VW techs, and not putting the right lead on the right plug.I see yours is a '92. Is it a dizzy block? Link to post Share on other sites
