scott8629 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I have just been away for a while so when I tryed to start up my VR the battery was flat, so I put in on charge all night and it fired first time.The problem is that it is misfiring like a b*stard.I think its the HT leads so I have a new set on order, could it be anything else?Will it be ok to drive as the leads will not be here untl wednesday!Scott Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 'MY96' - its not a scooby you know is there any visible sparks from the leads or the coilpack (do at night, lightly spray water over them to accentuate the chance of spark) Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Had a misfire on mine the other night - felt like running on 5 cylinders - turned out to be a fouled plug. I got the AA out and they changed the plug for me (didn't have any tools with me) - all sweet now. Link to post Share on other sites
