last time that happened to me I took the leads off one at a time (insulate yourself) while the engine is idling..
if one of the leads made no difference when taken off, then that lead is dodgy.. (or the terminal in the dizzy.) |

just used a rag.. but was wearing rubber boots and didn't touch the body of the car while I was doing it..
probably overkill.. zooted myself heaps of times and while being uncomfortable.. it isn't gonna kill a young man unless something else is wrong. |

Check to make sure your leads are on the right cylinders. and your coil lead is on right ( aclassic prob cause noone can be bothered to get under the car to connect it properly.

153624 is the correct firing order on i6 from memory.
#1 should be marked on the dizzy.. incorrect firing order usually does more than just idle abit rough. |
