c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 My e30 has developed a misfire recently. I replaced the distributor rotor about a month ago as it got a hole burnt through it and that fixed the problem. But the misfire came back so i pulled the dizzy cap off again ind it turns out that the point that gives power to the rotor arm has been burnt away to pritty much nothing. I replaced the dizzy cap today and it felt better at the start but now it has returned worser than ever. I checked the dizzy cap, rotor and spark plugs and they are still all fine. now the only thigs that i can think would cause this would be the injectors, ECU or HT leads? or a random sensor on the engine? Can anyone please help me??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 The HT leads are wire leads and shouldnt give you a problem. I would be checking the coil tower for tracking or check the suppressors. We use NGK suppressors. Failing that, get it proffessionaly checked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 also check the connections of the leads. and is it a constant miss or only in certain circumstances? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
