trying really hard not to let the image into my head...........
if anyones still listening have come to the conclusion that the problem lies in the lead itself as its getting fuel to the plug (so problem not with the fuel filter) and it sparks when I take it out to test (so not any mapping problem with the ecu or a faulty coil).
I'm gonna try swapping the leads over tomorrow and see if this works.
Anyone got any bright ideas for getting the boot deeper into the casing without cutting the collar off?
