My RS Turbo has developed a misfire and is not firing at all on cylinder 2, i have replaced the dizzy cap, rotor arm and leads but the misfire is still there. Would this indicate that the problem lies with the actual distributor?

 

is thier a spark at the end of the spark plug

 

could be fucked plug mine sone this changed the plug job done

 

Take the Plug out and check for spark in the plug,
If no spark then replace the plug and check again,
if spark is good then check compression in the cylinder with a pressure gauge,
if compression is o.k the could be a valve got blocked or something maybe covered in dirt and fuel is not getting to cylinder...

hope it's not you cylinder/piston/rings that will cause a compression issue mate.

if its a dirty valve sometimes a simple cleaner that you add to the fuel(like a BG44 etc'..) will help you clean the dirt off...

good luck.

 

Thanks for replys, it was the plug causing the problem - replaced it with one from my cossie and its running sweet as a nut now!

 

Good news !!
