My 2.0 has started running rough.
Symptons are
- does it all the time, hot or cold
- not pulling well. Could be slightly better at high rpm but not convincing
- significant vibration at idle (7-800rpm), (and another resonance at 1500 most noticable when cold)
- no EML
Plugs are fairly new (<10k), leads and dispack - who knows? probably original.
I removed plugs and the electrodes look good.
Airfilter fine and <10k
Fuel filter overdue :-[ prob. 50k since last (Haynes says 40k replacement)
On investigation, plug wells are full of oil, so obviously need to replace the camcover seal again -previous one was Halfords before I was enlightened on here..
DIS pack looks bone dry. The car lives in a car port so I don't think water ingress is the issue.
I have cleaned out the plug wells and dried off the HT leads as best I can. Problem remains.
Car is worth next to nothing ('94, 180k) so I don't really want to be throwing money at it at random.
I'm suspecting the HT leads are goosed, but I'd appreciate any suggestions. I have a new fuel filter so prob most obvious to start with that.
Cheers,
Ian

Firstly, cure the gasket, esle it will damaged the leads.
Also, change the fuel filter more regular - I do mine annually.

Fix the gasket and replace the plug leads - the oil has probably broken the leads down.
Remember the 10 O-rings on the cam cover

if your doing the gasket clean out the breathers and throttle body while your in there mine was doing simular things to yours but i cleaned and replaced breathers and the throttle body and runs sweet as a nut now
