Re: [Mk2] [NA] Rough idle

Something that may have gone unlooked is the spark plug gap and what spark plugs are they, if there the ones with the three electro arms get rid of them.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] High first initial idle.

gazza, you seem to have to much time on your hands, correcting me and all... if you can read what they guy actually put it was something along the lines of revs at 2000 revs for 5 mins.... NO CAR IN HISTORY SHOULD DO THAT.

shant argue with two loners that love a good text battle. ](*,)

Re: Wont start!

i forgot to add when testing the king lead, use a screwdriver and tape the end and the screwdriver together and place it on the throttle body somewhere and just crank and see if there is a spark, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
