Got a bit of a misfire and I'm putting this down to my leads however it seems a bit odd. If all the leads are connected it is blatantly missing however if I pull a couple of the leads off and have them just resting on the end of the plug rather than pushed fully home it seems to cure it.

The leads in question are those K1 racing 10mm jobs, it is safe to assume they are garbage then? what is everyone else using on here?

Was thinking of just picking up some magnecors and being done with it.

leads will do this as your putting a bigger gap into the circuit it gives the plug a bigger/stronger spark....u might check ur plugs in case they're fowled(possibly too many cold starts)

Ah never knew that i'll check the plugs tomorrow but if a new set of o.e leads are only £15 I may look to get some of them as well.
