Hi

I have recently had a my engine re-built, which was running fine, but now I think it has picked up some electrical fault, causing the car to miss fire, The miss fire is intermittent and seems to do it either when you are driving without using any load on the engine, or slightly letting off the acceleration when cruising.

Has any one else seen this fault or have any ideas what would be causing it.
cheeRS for any help.

Seems to be the same problem I had, my problem was the phase-sensor (inside the distributer) .
I bought a new one an fitted it and no more misfire's.

The Phase-sensor has only recently been changed about 800 miles ago and the problem started about 300 miles ago, do these normaly fail?

Any other help would be great as im off to the nurburgring in 3 weeks.

Cheers

Is the clearance of the phase sensor set right, it must be between 0.2 and 0.3 mm.

Cheers
