I've had trouble of late with my AU2 XR6... Its got a weak spark...
Anyone heard of problems like this? Ive put heavy duty leads & coil pack and platinum plugs which have all done bout 10,000kms. Plugs have been sand blasted and cleaned today, but no change to its start. I hope someone knows something. My thoughts are an ignition coil or map sensor. Rules out O2 sensor cause it does it on cold and warm start, which as you know O2 sensor is not active on cold start. Please help, and dont just say get a BA or something... lol Cheers

Check earthing, if coils / leads and plugs are all ok and it's a weak spark then could be faulty earthing.
Double check you have correct plugs. My brother's EL was playing up, gutless upon cold. Dodgy repco guy sold me incorrect plugs. $24 later it was running sweet as.
