one of the leads could have been damaged, more likely a plug.

could be a map sensor, could be water still leaking in to the bore again over night god forbid.

start with timing and spark strength

hi guys when we did the head gasket we found that the timing chain adjuster wasnt released from new so we set it up so that it works. ive just arrived back from a trip to sydney and back and the car runs rough as guts and im unsure whether its a timing issue or injector issue any ideas. :?: :?: :idea:

Could be the injectors...Could be either thou...Or even something else! Best to take it to your mechanic.

Cheers,
