misfiring round corners!!!???
« on: 04 March 2005, 13:16 »
bout six weeks ago my  baby started bangin from the drivers side front? wheel ,thinkin it was the wheel bearing i took it to get sorted,then it started misfriring later that day, but only when i put my foot down goin round corners.
took it to my trusted garage, where he confirmed the wheel bearin was knacked so that was sorted straight away.
but i was still left with the problem of the embarassing? :embarassed:jumpin misfire round the corners!
The mechanic couldnt find anythin wrong with it and now im pullin my hair out, what to do next.
Any ideas peeps?????

i had this, when going fast round sharp corners,,,,,,,,
what it was at end of the day was a fooked ht lead, and when u went round a bend fast, the g-force moved it closer to the head so the spark jumped to the head,
trip to gsf to get new set, by by misfire :evil:
