AJmk2 2 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I actually hate the stock coil pack. I got a new one about 4 months ago and already im having missfire problems again.Im just wondering if it actually is the coilpack though and maybe it could be my plugs or leads. Anyone had missfires and found it to not be the coilpack.Due to the fact i need the car i sometimes have to drive it for about 15mins missfiring and then suddenly it clears up. Also what are the cheap alternative to the platinium plugs as i dont want to fork out 90 quid and find they are okay. Link to post Share on other sites
