Check the cap and rotor arm are in good order, and all leads are good.

if its still lumpy

Take the plugs out, give them a clean and let em dry first of all.


I remember you sayingyou changed the pump but it got worse, did you change it back for the old one?

Its running very lumpy mate. Cant move the car, as it really sounds awful. plugs are done properly, I double checked.

Could it be the timing wrong as i changed the distibuter?
