mildmanneredjanitor 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Hi Chaps, haven't posted for a while, been pretty busy. I wonder if you could give me some pointers? My C ('89 1.8 16v) has started playing up, initially the tacho went peculiar (sort of lazy and like the needle had been put on 20 degs anti clockwise) then a slight miss-fire, splutter which has gotten progressively worse? The car ticks over ok, but as soon as you rev it will miss-fire. Could the tacho prob be linked or just coincedence? What's the best order to look at things (bearing in mind I'm not a mechanic - well part one doesn't count!). I changed the plugs, rotor arm, dizzy cap about 2 months ago. PS. I see the site has had a revamp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billinjah 0 Posted January 13, 2005 sounds like a dead coil or maybe just the terminals need cleaning up a bit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
