misfire, dizzy related?

Post by T.F.S. »

hi

car misfires like mad on boost lately...

i removed the dizzy and found a tiny bit of oil, cleaned it up and it still misfired so im guessing it has returned #-o

is this a common fault?, does it have a common repair? (seal kit maybe?)

or do you guys just swap it out for a new/good second hand part?

regards, brian

Ok so since you brought it up, when was the last time the dizzy cap / rotor / HT leads and plugs were replaced to give us a benchmark to go from please.
