despercorrado

whoops so it does! i was thinking it runs off the camshaft.

you need to determine if the misfire is on just one cylinder. with it running pull the ht leads off the "candles" one at a time, if one comes off and no change occurs to the engine this is the problem cylinder. there should be no water near the distributor. dry this out, it should stay dry, a small squirt of wd40 will help. check for air leaks on inlet side.

hi, the "intermediate pulley" runs the oil pump so no need to time it.

hi, if you don't know the history of the engine, for the sake of 30 odd quid its always worth changing the water pump while its in bits. i don't know what life you get from oil pumps on the 9a but mines done 117k...

The guy I got it from told me a neighbour of his parked it up about a year or so befor and just left it sitting under a tree on his drive. He told me it was a mess befor he jet washed it, he said it took him a few days to get started and other then the headlight bulbs it was all working. He didn't know why it was left. So after some one with no feed back beat me on eBay he messaged and said it must be a fake account. Yea ok. So I went and took it off him for £350. When I got there with a trailer, it started fine and after a good look round and a lot of poking I found it needed a tyre, the windows wouldn't open and only the side lights worked. Under the bonnet looked like a mouse had been living in there, there was the remains of a plastic bag every where. But all the wiring and pipe work was intact. Drove it about in his yard and all seamed ok. Well apart form the lacquer was 98% missing from the roof. A random patch on the nearside rear quarter was down to bear metal and the rear bumper had been red at some point in its life.. Sounds to good....

Iv got a few more on my phone will Add more later
