Default COSWORTH MISSFIRE UNDER BOOST

THIS MIGHT HELP OTHERS MY COSSIES BEEN BREAKING DOWN WEN I TRY TO FLOOR IT ,AFTER STRUGGLING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS CHECKING ALL THE BASICS ,THE PROBLEM WAS THE 2 WIRES THAT GOES INTO THE DISTRIBUTOR,THAT CONNECTS TO THE PHASE SENSOR,NO 1 CHECKS THIS TO BE A PROBLEM COZ ITS GOT A KIND OF PROTECTIVE COVER OVER IT
THE SAME COVER THATS ON THE INJECTORS , MINE WAS BARELY TOUCHING ,IT DROVE FINE IF I CRUISE BUT BROKE DOWN WEN UNDER LOAD.

ITS WORTH CHECKING OUT AS I WAS A VERY HAPPY MAN AFTER THAT [/quote]

Also may be worth getting a new phase sensor while you are at it!

I heard a story of a guy locally who had the wires on the phase sensor go bad, and cost him an engine! Ouch!!

Phase sensors are not that dear!
