Default RST missfire at about 5k RPM. Strange.

Hello peeps!

Can someone try and help me out?

On my rst, over the last few days, its started to develope a missfire at about 5k upwards. If i floor it, sometimes it does'nt do it, its a bit random really.

Although, when going through the gears, its tends to do it in 2nd gear mostly (bit strange i know), and it's a PROPER missfire too.(loud bang, etc)


Anyone got any ideas on what i can check?

Its running NGK Spark plugs, and ive been told this "could" be it.

I would very much appreciate it as i have a rolling road day tomorrow. TYPICAL!!!

Cheers
Mike

Close the gaps up and see if that cures it, (may make idle crappy)

I would change the plugs anyway - Ford plugs are better
