the car misfires when its accelerating! but after having a look at the leads, it could be a safe bet thats my problem! i think she's gonna get a service very soon.........now she's starting to grow on me lol!
no oil leaks anymore or overheating, so it looks like i'm not gonna give up on her ye!

Jane...as said...if you have changed the cam cover definitely definitely get the breather system cleaned out or the gasket will fail again very prematurely...should be cleaned out at least once a year

Clean spark plugs up see how that goes, better still replace them...if leads cracked or worn change them...long term misfiring will take out the dispack which is more costly

[jane]

er.... whats a dispack?
do they sell jargon boooks for cars? lol - maybe lessons??

[ffcgary1]

Dis pac is the electronic box that sits behind the pass side cylinder head and is a pain to get to. The plug leads are connected to the dis pac, similar to the distributor on older cars.

Hope that helps.

OOPS, just seen that you have a 4 pot motor but the dis is the same but located in a diff position
