Trafic misfire

Unread post by turbot »

My 1993 T1400 Trafic has recently started misfiring. It starts fine and will run on the choke, but when its warm ( choke no longer needed) it misfires, usually using medium throttle, particularly noticeable up slight hills. It doesnt seem to happen on light throttle openings
I have changed plugs and rotor arm, yesterday, I used a carb cleaner spray to clean the inside of the carb and it seemed to run fine for a while, then the misfire returned.
Any ideas?

I had same problem it ended up being the flywhell sensor which provides the engine spark timing. A common fault on these. Located on the rear of the gearbox under the dizzy.

Looks like it was the plug leads. Changed them and its running sweet as anything again.
