my cars let me down
« on: 17 October 2012, 17:22 »
first time in ver 2years tho so good going from it, developed a hell of a misfire, sounded like a subaru but without the speed, cylinder 1 has no spark, changed coil and no luck, plugs are fine, so ordered an ignition amp, hoping this works!

if not what else is there to check? does the ign amp store a code?

no ignition amp doesn't store a code.

99.9% sure it will be the amp, it's exactly what mine did
