amit 0 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 i poped down to my mates garage today to get a set of HT leads fitted this afternoon. Once they were fitted, he pointed out there were was a crack in the coil pack near lead 3. The crack was letting out a small spark and a click..click...click sound could be heard. As a temperoray measure, he used a bit of silicone where the crack was but did advise on a new coil pack. Since i had the ht leads fitted, the car idles like crap, acceleration isnt crisp at all. How come the standard HT leads didnt cause this problem???? Please help. Also whats the best way to push the leads down into the plugs. [ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 well, the coilpack could have come apart a fraction when he pulled the old lead off i suppose.i have a coilpack on ebay at the mo, its appeared to be working fine when on my car there is a craxk at the far left but there were no sparks or misfiring (i replaced it when the hall sender screwed up cause someone said it was the coilpack..which is wasn't) Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 yeah, i just bought one at immense cost, becuase my one is apparently knackered. Set back my charger purchase by about 3 months . Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 so this would be bad time to tell you i got an almost-new one for £25 then? Link to post Share on other sites
