dee205 3 Posted March 18, 2006 The wife's Colt has been running like crap recently. I've replaced the plugs. The leads are ordered for it because the ones on the car give you a shock if you touch them so I take it they're fcuked. The guys she's getting the leads off told her if that didn't cure it then it's probably the coil pack. Does a coil pack look different from a normal distributor cap setup? It's just the car has a normal looking cap with the centre bit and 4 pins, and the rotor arm is round with the 1 contact point thing. There's no king lead just a plug into the body of the cap housing thing. I've cleaned up the cap pins and the rotor arm pin and the car has been running better since. Surely you man has it wrong that the car has a coil pack if it has this setup. Thanks Damien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dee205 3 Posted March 18, 2006 Cheers. It seems to have helped a bit when I cleaned out the cap connections. The dealers were quoting £70 for a set of leads! Got them ordered from a motor factors for less than £20 and I'll think I'll order the cap and arm when I collect the leads. Damien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
