2 plug leads needed urgently - found the problem

Post by ClarkyBoy » Thu Oct 22, 2009 6:40 pm

hi guys, im really hoping someone local can help me out, i need to take my elise to edinburgh tomorrow and i have discovered that the problem with it is that the one of the leads is fooked, (it was arking onto the rocker cover, hence misfire and them subsequently limp mode onset) does anybody have 2 leads io could use and replace next week when im back as i wont have time to get tomorrow before i have to leave for edinb and i have meetings all day, your help would be much appreciated, thanks

even if someone has an s2 sitting in their garage and wont need it this weekend....?

clarky.

Wrap it in insulation tape? I've got some leads you can borrow, but they're on my car, in Edinburgh :-(

Cheers,

could it be 1 of the 2 coils?

if so chances of dingbro having them in stock tomorrow?
