Well just as im running low on cash and put the car up for sale, this happens...
Was off to work in the car this morning, pulling off on a steep hill and i heard a bang and then the car sounded like a tank and had lost compression and the engine management light came on, i still drove it back home (1.5 miles) and when i came back to check it later on found that the end of the ht lead had exploded at the plug end and the plug had come up? What could have caused this to happen and what damage should i expect to find, and what to do about fixing it? Just simply replace the ht lead and plug, which i should imagine needs re tapping as its been fired up. :? I will have a better look tomorrow but any help and guidance would be appreciated.
