GTE not firein on all 4 cylinders

[radicky]

im lookin 2 buy a good gte but shes not firing on all 4 cylinders, could it just b the dizzy cap, coil, leads or spark plugs, or could it be summin expensive to do wiv the injection system it is electronic on a gte isn it?

A GTE should have a dizzy. Possibilities are:

spark plug/ht lead
dizzy cap/rotor arm
no compression
jammed injector or the plug come off one.

Run it for 5-10 mins when you go to view it, then take the plugs out one by one and that will give you an idea when you look at them. If one or more are wet then there is no spark.

i know how 2 test 2 see wat t problem is, but lets say that the worst case is that i need a new inlet and injector system is it dear?

[Paul]

depends what you see as dear, you would expect change from ?100 for a complete engine...

[Welsh Dan]

You can get injectors reconditioned for ?50ish per set. Dizzy cap, rotor arm, spark plugs, ht leads etc.. are all normal service parts and I'd expect to fit those anyway when buying a car.

Could just be something as simple as a fooked spark plug/lead.

Best just check things when its running.
