Missing in Ms again

Post by buzzz »

Hi all. About a week ago my pinz started missing. When started cold it will run and idle perfect, after driving 20-30 min. you can kill the engine and start again and it has a bad miss at mid range. I have replaced plugs, air and fuel filters, and coil. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

Have you changed the ignition/HT leads? I had a bad connection to my coil which wasn't immediately obvious until I tried to disconnect it (although if you've changed your coil you've probably covered those)

Try driving it for 20/30 minutes as you say at night and then run the engine whilst peering inside the cover - you might see arcing somewhere

Thanks for the reply Robin. I will try the night run. The last time it had these symptoms it was a dirty molex connection. I cleaned it today and it seemed to get worse.

Did you check the voltage output?

Thanks for chiming in Jim. I didnt check out put but I am going to shop with it tomorrow. I will get them to check it. He has worked on it a few times but pinzgauers are not his cup of tea :( I will take the repair manual for sure. If you have any other tips to check I will be sure to tell him. Thanks again,
