Hey guys, i've been noticing latley that the car sometimes when i first turn her over she has trouble kicking over every now and then its nothing major. I thought it might have been caused from the old crap battery i had so i bought a new one but it still does the same thing. The leads i have on are the original factory ones and i was wondering if that is what would be causing it?
Cheers. |

Probably not the single cause, but they certainly wouldn't be helping the issue either.
If you want to find they issue first, try a throttle body and ISC valve clean. As for lead types if you want to change, DON'T get Top gun, they are crap. Since your in queensland, i'd go with queensland ignition or queensland leads. Can't remember the name exactly. Other than that, MSD leads are good, but you have to put them together your self. And leads i've currently got, which are "gas leads technology" seam pretty good and only cost $50. But they are yet to be on the car a week. Cheers

Brent, as you live in Melb., ICE leads are the best. The guy who makes them is in Moorabin. and has all the clues on ignition systems.

Superroo is right.. if you are in QLD, go QLD Ignition Leads at Kallangur.
Top quality ans service. They will make them up and fit them while you wait.

OEM ford leads on my baby are still going strong after 7 years - 120,000km. Can't complain about that

I have had 9mm eagle leads in the past. Were pretty good with no faults that I had come across.

Where can you buy ICE leads from (or Eagle NGK for that matter)?
I've only ever seen Top Gun and Bosch on my travels
