G'day all
My AUII Futura seems to be misfiring when i put the foot down and only seems to happen when the engine is warm/hot. It started a few weeks ago so I got it serviced so new plugs etc but not new leads. I also got new headers, high flow cat, and 2.5" system at the same time as the service but the problem remains. I give it a boot and nothing much happens except it makes a noise like a lawnmower on steroids. Any ideas?? |

did they charge you for plugs?
Spark plugs generally are not included as a regular service item. Perhaps booking it in for a tune up would have been better |

Change the leads and it will fix it.Warm the car up and have a look at your leads at night and you should see a nice light show on the leads/arcing on tappet cover etc while its running...

I just took it for a quick run and got it warm but no light show from the leads so maybe wasn't hot enough. Will let you know if this fixes it. Thanks again |

check your fuel filter as well, a blocked filter can also present as spark breakdown.
