Need help guys,
My mk2 1.2 carbbed engine is misfiring badly - coming to work this afternoon - doing 80 and it just gradually started to sound like a tank. Pulled over and discovered its number 1 cylinder (the one nearest the dizzy cap). Removed HT lead and engine note didnt change a bit. Checked spark to HT using block and there is one but not firing the cylinder. Checked dizzy and cleaned it - thats fine too. Fitted new spark plugs (prev ones looked ok) and a spark was getting to the plug but still not firing on number 1.
Cant really drive the car although did manage to crawl to work slowly.
Can anyone help?
Its not smoking and my water/oil pressure is fine (not drinking water which would suggest head gasket)
Ironically at the exact same time my engine went funy my "new wife" called me to tell me shed just crashed her car (reversed into a gate post and smashed the moulded bumper!) :x
Bloody sods law aint it! :(
