Its a standard gsi 8v engine.
Loom was a bit dodgey (lots of insulating tape and joined wire etc behind the dash) so i changed the full loom. Used a 1.2 loom and wired in the GSi engine loom including fuel pump relay.
Before the loom was taken out the engine was runin bang on and since i got it going after changing the loom there is a misfire in cylinder 1.
I changed the lead and changed the plug even though its sparking for a set of new ones. still no joy.
When i was taking out the plug i discovered the prick who had it had cross treaded in the spark plug :o but the new one seems to get good tread in. as far as i can tell by counting treads the plug is going down enough but does it have to be in an exact distance? if its not going in full im only talking about one tread at most.
any other ideas people? :?
