Mis-firing 8 valver P-reg
« on: 28 December 2009, 22:45 »
Took the motor into town, it's a 5 minute drive, engine ran fine.
Took it to Morrisons filling station to fill it up with regular Unleaded petrol.
Getting back in after paying up, started it up & noticed it was running pretty rough, I drove along the main road & it sounds like it's firing on 3 cylinders. 

No lights have come up on the dash.  Very weird.

Even if it was running on vapours when you pulled in, the new petrol won't have got to the engine so quickly. It's coincidence and more likely to be in need of a new distributor cap or other ignition parts.
