Well i'm not expecting people to remember but a while ago i put up a thread about my car misbehaving.
It would on occasion seem to "misfire" on its initail acceleration after been left for a while causing the car to feel like it was been driven through a large puddle.
I've also noticed that a few other people seem to be having the same/similar problem, so you'll be pleased to know that i've cracked it!
I eventually concluded after a load of messing about with injectors, filters, pumps and such that it was an electrical problem, so replaced the leads and plugs and still had the problem. I then heard that the coil packs degrade after 80,000, loathed to spen £50 to try somthing that might not work i ignored it. But the other day i managed to get another coil pack for £10 so i put it on and hey presto it sorted it.
So for all you people who have this problem, here you go!!
Also i have a question, why is a coil pack used instead of a distributor if they degrade and cost a fair chunk of money to replace?
Cheers
Coil packs and ZX's
