Hi,
Thanks for all the replies to my ignition query (misfire gets worse when new
rotor and distributor cap fitted), but I think I've found the main culprit.
I noticed when checking the fit of the new rotor arm that the disk that
breaks the infra-red beam of my ignition (lumenition) was missing one of its
blades. This was conveniently lying in the bottom of the distributor. Gluing
it back in place has made the problem largely go away.
It must have been like that for some time, and was certainly like that when
I drove back from New Plymouth to Wellington last week, a 360Km trip. I
can't figure out how the car ran so well (relatively speaking..) without it
- is it just with all those cylinders that you wouldn't notice like you
would on a four?
