Defcon5 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Service it.Coil pack and leads may be worth looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 if it's not misfiring, coil pack should be reet.Oil & filters all round. Sparks and HT leads.Chuck some injection cleaner into the fuel tank.check lights, tyre pressures and clean the boot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakefresh Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Nah its not misfiring is just a bit tappy at low revs, and seems to have no power from 45mph+, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
