I'm sure we have all experienced these despite being invisible! Scenario: Car running fine for the past few months, then when returning home after a run a week or so ago the following symptoms were experienced: Misfiring Not maintaining revs Cutting out The engine is the trusty 2.0l Pinto So I replaced the following: Coil - tests on old showed it to be under par Leads - like for like Plugs - tho' this was a few weeks earlier & had been running fine on them! Dizzy Cap - Bosch Rotor arm - Bosch Thinking that this would cure all I eagerly turned the key, did not fire up, but turns!!! Checked the following: Battery - fine 12.6v Fuel - pumping to carb & fresh in tank Leads - intact on plugs / cap Coil wiring - as it came off Rotar arm - intact, can only fit one way TDC - Aligned on Mark & cam Plugs - 1342 on cap I have trawled the forum topics endlessly but now doubt my sanity, given up today as the garage is cold & the f@ck up fairies will be in for the night shortly !! Any obvious instant fixes out there....................................................................... Spose I will have to check sparking/HT/LT leads next, job for later, it's beer time Feel better for sharing Ps. Why do we buy RH's
