havent had a proper look yet but it was misfiring like a mofo yesterday morning. sounded like an impreza lol. was fine though after it warmed up and it got me to work and back. fitted new plugs and leads last night.

today the car wont start :evil:

turns over fine, seems to be getting petrol o.k (stinks after a few turn overs).

i'm thinking a new coil?

oh and the distributer looks fine (think its only a few months old?)

any other ideas?

^^ no moisture in cap.

couldnt check for spark cos ive been on my own all day :roll:

was tempted to roll the fucker down the road and call the aa :lol:

have another look tommorow. if it is the coil are they all the same or will it have to be a gte/gsi one?
