105E Steve Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 After spending nearly all day with a guy from work trying to sort a misfireout on my car, I thought it had gone and just as I was driving home from work it started again! Going to give it half hour for me to cool down them doing back out, the great british weather isnt helping too much either!! If it doesnt get sorted there will be a spare space, so watch this post!! Sometime I love my car, but there are times like now I hate it!
Mk 1 Mark Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 know how you feel mate....Hope you get it sorted
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 Best of luck mate... I too have been plagued with problems... infact, my Anglia is one BIG problem, but we are on speaking terms at the moment Hope you can make it
105E Steve Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Posted June 30, 2007 Cheers guys, I am well confused, just been out to the car after it sitting for an hour, drove it up the road and its fine!! I got a serious lack of power/misfire when it was warm. Just got it running now to get it warm then going to take it round the block again. Any one any ideas? The guy today checked the points etc, got the dwell meter on it & the timing light. Took the plugs out & gave them a clean earlier. The car ticks over fine, not lumpy at all
john_3.0s Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 classic symptoms of a duff coil or condenser, fine when cold and only starts to play up when gets warm...
escort greg Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 Yeah i would have said condenser or coil....change them and see what happens
Mr Sam Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 are you still on points? id invest in electronic ignition, worth its weight in gold hope you get it sorted soon
