anybody had problems with them..???....i had a missfire on my car about 6 weeks ago...so i got dissy cap+arm and put another set of them leads on.....it cured it!!!!..........well its started again...it happens at around 6500rpm in 5th...doesn't do it in 4th or 3rd....the plugs are fine,....just wanted peoples thoughts cos i've been told that these leads arn't that good....cheers Pete

 

had em on the cossie for ages, no probs here

 

i wanted expert opinion..........not urs.........

 

fine, fuck ya then

 

not expert but I've had a few sets on cars that have come in and I've noticed.

the metal clip in the rubber boot that pushes into the cap snaps you can't see it but when the leads are pushed in it will make contact then vibrations causes to seperate and misfire.

the fittings on a 2wd are 90degree but 4x4 are straight which make it less prone.

had these on my car for a couple of years but they corroaded and went green, new leads in my came from Bayjoo job done

I bought some "original Cosworth" ones for my FRST and the ends have melted within 500 miles

Cheers

 

Hi Dan - I thought this was the other way round

With the 2wd having a right angled distrubutor cap and straight start to the leads..

And the 4x4 having a straight distrubutor pins and 90 degree angled leads...

Or have i got it wrong

 

I've with you Smit, that's what I think it is but waited til someone else said it

It's not 2wd & 4wd caps - it's cat' and non-cat' caps.....

 

my car had a nasty high up the revrange when first built,with supposed to be uprated leads

switched to motorsport blue jobs and been fine ever since mate

 

I had new 909 leads on mine when I got it, but it misbehaved, had a permanent stutter, rolling road showed up bad leads, 3 out of 4 were dodgy.
I put on new MAGNECOR and solved the problem, and mine were STRAIGHT, with ANGLED CAP.

I could be wrong but did say "not expert" by the time I get the cars they have been swapped around and played with either way one is prone to snapping the other is not. I've got both caps and leads but my car is on a coilpack so I need not worry.

 

we are both wrong

 

i've got the original ones (i think,funny name... )....but only 4,no coil lead.....ah fuck it, i'll get some Ahmed ones....

 

I have a set of ford ones doing nowt marra if you want to try em out

 

Pete,

Dont discount the plugs.

Just because they look ok doesnt mean they are

Heat fucks up the internal carbon resistor making them weak sparking.

 

plugs have only done about 5k...NGK iridiums........but like u say...shit happens.... ....

 

......hello fella..............still smokin'....

 

Does a bear shit in the woods

 

5k Im lucky if i get half that before they fook up.

 

....ment to be good for about 10k................

 

is it my leads..?????...up
