Missfire

[Tom 8]

Hi,

Having Tuscan serviced at the moment and there is a missfire. On inspection the one plug was damp. Is there anyway to stop this happening as it seems a recuring niggle?

Anyone else had the same?

Thanks!

I'm looking at getting one of the CF spark-plug covers to replace the existing unit as, if it is not sealed/gunked up properly then it can let in water to the plugs. The CF covers have a foam seal/gasket so you don't have to mess about with the sealant everytime it has to be taken off and re-fitted.

Thanks Andy, might look to do the same as it is annoying when they pkugs do get damp.

Which bit of Kent are you, I don't see many TVRs down this way.

Cheers

you can talk, with your re-trims and fancy exhaust pipes an stuff! It's not the CF I am interested in y'know (although it will, of course, make the car go faster....;)) it's the convenience of not having to worry about that fecking sealant....
