Title: HT Leads???
Post by: golf-manic on 13 December 2008, 11:04

ive had a abit of a problem with the car idling.
me and my dad think its fuel related and so does a good mechanic.
also she stalled the other night when pulling off  :sad: but started straight back up.
ive had a look at the HT leads and they are arc-ing out of the metal cap which joins the spark plug, the mechanic also thinks this maybe causing the problem.
ill keep you updated as im getting some later on today.
any other help would be appreciated.

aye, arcing = bad.  when you see an arc that means the cylinder in question is not firing, because the spark has gone to the engine block rather than to the sparkplug
