My e30 has developed a misfire recently. I replaced the distributor rotor about a month ago as it got a hole burnt through it and that fixed the problem. But the misfire came back so i pulled the dizzy cap off again ind it turns out that the point that gives power to the rotor arm has been burnt away to pritty much nothing. I replaced the dizzy cap today and it felt better at the start but now it has returned worse than ever. I checked the dizzy cap, rotor and spark plugs and they are still all fine. Now the only thigs that i can think would cause this would be the injectors, ECU or HT leads? or a random sensor on the engine?


Can anyone please help me???

try using a coil that you no works and change the cap again for another good one see if that makes any differnce
