I've got an annoying misfire that's stumped me a bit. I've recently done a full service inc cambelt (misfire was there before I did this), dizzy cap, rotar arm, plugs, leads and coil but I've still got this slight miss which is a right pain in traffic !

Any clues ???

Have you done a compression test, to ensure all six pots are giving roughly equal readings of around 180 psi?

Mmm, good thinking batman.

Have just bought a compression tester off the bay so will hopefully try this at weekend
