Lesson learnt - Coil Pack

[MikeWarner]

As I've been increasing power on my engine I've had to regap my spark plugs each time. Well, I got down to 0.6mm and it started missing again. Figured it was the coil pack, so replaced it.

Seems it have been a problem for a while as I'm now running a spark plug gap of 0.75mm with no problem. I wasn't able to do that for the last 18 months on the old coil pack.

Car seems to pull a little better at around 5000rpm, which is nice. Obviously the spark is not bigger, so should results in a more even quicker burn. Nice. :)

If you have any missifring - reducing the sparkplug gap may hide a problem which realy lies with the coil pack. Just a warning.

Good advice.

Where did you get it from? Have seen a few on ebay for a reasonable price.

Hard to diagnose though ....

So you're happy again for a while !
