ZX miss fire..

Post by DT2912 »

Hello,

My reliable 96 Zx 1.4 has developed a miss fire when pulling away in higher gears once it has got hot. It starts and pulls away fine from cold. Once it has reached operating temperature, If I ask it to accelerate in say, third gear, it will miss intermittently. It has new HT leads fitted but I am wondering about the coil pack. Is there anything else I need to eliminate before going down one way of thinking?

Thanks all.

I must say it sounds like the coil pack to me. Classic symptoms breaking down when hot.
