MISSING
Turbo Mini Forums

recently finnished my motor and it has never run tidy, its missing and spluttering when pulling off under low revs, also miss's from time to time when traveling at speed, it sorta struggles then all the sudden comes back to live .....
the exhuast is blowing alot would this cause the problem ?
ok, just thought would dash pot oil do this if low ??

sounds like the coil to me

It could be one of about a hundred things. Start working through, I would check the plugs for a start.

i've done the following,
fitted new plugs,
fitted new plug leads,
replaced the pipe that runs from the carb to the plenum.

things im gonna do tonight,
check dash pot oil,
fix blowing down pipe,
check for lose electrical connections

can you suggest anything else?

Check the coil and module out. The Metro haynes has a detailed procedure giving you winding resistances etc to check.
Also check/change the fuel filter.

might be running a bit lean,

just a thought steve

after you have checked out all the electrics

and these are found to be OK !!! 100%

then the engine missing under boost is always caused by a lean mixture

thats providing all the mechanicals check out as well... valve clearences etc ......ect .......

have you got the T peice trick fitted ???????

nope not done the t-peice trick will look into this , i didnt get the time today to look at it, im gonna have a go first thing in the morning, thanks for the replys guys,
im gonna run over them tomorrow.
thanks
steve
