Hi, as topic says, i have some problems with my ignition.

The spark plugs are not working properly. I bought new spark plugs a few days ago, the car worked properly a cuple days, until it suddenly started to go on 2 cilynders!

when i put the ignition cabels on, the sparkplugs doesnt give the spark they are suposed to give, but when i only put them halfway on they give theyr spark!

Somone know what the problem might be? thank you for your help, and sorry for the writing errors!

Dizzy cap? HT leads is the most likely problem. £8 from halfords for a new set

 

I have chacked it now, the cap is not dizzy or anything, but i did se one thing that i dont think is normal, it was some kind of a thin layer in the disturbiator cap, i cleaned this away but nothing was different.

 

I have also changed the HT Leads, and i found out the hard way that the old ones was stil good as new! nothing was changed, and the car dident start :help: :help: :help: :help:

What about a new distributor arm and a new distributor cap.. maybe the contacts arent connecting properly?
