I’m guessing it’s fuel/spark related fault. While driving it can be fine one moment and rough the next. The gas in the tank is good (refilled it with 98 RON petrol), the fuel filter was changed around 15,000kms ago, I checked all the spark plugs and they look fine.
I’m up to checking the resistance of the spark plugs leads and, I know this sounds easy, but how do you pull the leads off the distributor? I got the top one about 20% off (number 2 cylinder), but it doesn’t move easily and I don’t want to break the connector of the lead. I’m just wary about doing this because I haven’t mucked around with the ignition before.
