I have this $500 dollar bunky that gets me to the train station...cut it short:
-been missfiring quite a bit lately ONLY when it's cold, give it 5 mins and it runs fine. New set of plugs would cost me $40 and a new set of leads $60. I dont want to exchange everything at one go and since im a tight ass when it comes to my bunky: -if it missfires while cold, more likely to be plugs or leads?? then again could be head gasket and if its the case... ![]()

If it's a head gasket you'll see bubbles in the coolant while it's running.
Does it have a distributor? Could be condensation inside the cap or the the rotor button might be fingered or both......

A few probs with the ignition on early falcons can be traced back to the black box module for the ignition on the dizzy, first try cleaning under it and reapply silicon paste for good contact. These have been the demise for many an EA/EB.

definately do the leads 1st, had the same problem on my eb years ago, went through the whole rigmarole of changing the plugs, getting the injectors cleaned, even the engine diagnostic machine couldn't pick up that it was a fukn dodgey lead
so yeah, that would be my 1st port of call you should have bought an old 'rolla or poosar, heaps better bunksters imho ![]() |
