    god dam renault heeeeelp

    where to start engine was running fine then it started as if it was running on 3 so i changed the carb and it sorted the problem out then its started again so ianm came round tryed his carb ,we changed the dizzy ,plugs leads ,tdc lead , plugs , still running and missing but runs fine on tick over just misses when reving ive now taken the head off and conrods must be ok as piston hit highest point at same time so rods are not bent , push rods are straight tappets are good ???? comp test gave me 135 to 140 across all 4 with plug in and plugs out with acc on and also tryed with it off its doing my head in

    Hey mate, I had similar issues last year. Turned out to be the tdc sensor wire.
    Only really played up on damp mornings, so kinda intermittent .
    Hope u sort it
