I will bet anything it is the Coil as many have mentioned. Cheapest are $110 delivered on Ebay or second hand $25 in the for sale section on this forum.

On the subject of coils can you buy aftermarket like MSD? Seen a few guys fit these to that other make of car and they respond well on Gens, sorry for swearing.

hi gasolane.... ive had the car this is my 4th year its been great never broken down or anything id done tyres, drive belt, battery.. only thing cost me a bit was an oil leak which was that slow they said to leave it but i got it fixed... was 500 for that,,, oh they did the water pump too.. they had the car 3 days
back to the question.... Ive never had any new plugs or leads since i did the car..... How much for a garage to do that... can they just test them???? i am tight just dont have a lot of money being on my own thank you |

+1 for the ignition leads.......I had the exact same problem 3 months ago.
Tried Fuel Filter, Plugs...as soon as the leads swapped over the problem was gone

If (after fitting new plugs) it still plays up call your mechanic and ask how much to supply and fit a set of leads. If it's still got the original leads they will be due for replacement now anyway. Then if you're still having problems I'd look at the coilpack. Spark plugs and leads certainly wont cost anywhere near as much as the oil leak!

At night open your bonnet with the car running and check for a spark jumping from one lead to another. It will happen with the miss and only occur for a split second so you need to have your eyes peeled.
If this is the problem leads is definetely your problem.

You should be able to do plugs and leads yourself for $110. 6x$4 for plugs, $85 for 9mm QIL Leads.

Hi mr hardware... I dont have a garage to do it in or any tools. Plus my mechanic is great and hes going to check the fuel filter etc.. it will cost me a bit more but at least its done. and they let me pay it off it its anymore, also they dont charge me for fixing small things like electric windows, head light, handbrake etc.... so I will stick with them i been going there for 6 yrs lol

absolutely mate, and i completely and fully advocate anyone using a mechanic if they so choose. There are too many turkeys on here who have 0 idea but think they can do everything themselves just by posting a two-line question on the forums. This ain't the RACQ

obviously you need to be mechanically minded, but i think theres nothing better than getting elbow deep in your car, and working it all out yourself. sure theres times you need a helping hint or guidance when you stumble, but thats what makes good forums great. Sound advice, with a decent attitude.
I find it extremely rewarding working on my own cars. |

It is easier to do the leads on a hoist, put them on up top then feed them thorugh, raise it up and plugem in. My last spark plugs were iridiums, i believe these are worth the extra, but shop around. Leads, i have a brand new set of Champions sitting here and a Yates belt. PM me if you want them, i am putting on QIL leads.
