Question Missfire.co.uk

Series 2
New Group A Coil
New Rotor arm
Mint dizzy
New Motorsport HT Leads
New 701 Plugs

The car misfires like fuck under load and i cant work it out for love nor money.

The car is ready for the road now, just need to sort this out.

Anyone had the same experience? (Prob every RS Turbo owner in the world!)

Thanks in advance, Billy

Is it misfiring, or blowing the spark out? Get it set up or close the plug gaps.

I'd stick in some NGK BCR8ES gapped to 25thou and see how you get on.

Gapped them to 0.6 and the car runs fine now.

Really aggressive though the gears!

Cheers People
