Misfiring at low rpm
« on: June 12, 2017, 11:28:16 »
I experience some misfiring about 1500 - 2100 rpm. It's primarily when I accelerate calmly. There is nothing when the engine comes over 2100 rpm. So it gets plenty of gasoline I think. I have cleaned the power distributor and checked the power cables. Any suggestions?

Check the ignition point gap, replace them if needed. Might need a  fresh set of spark plugs?

New spark plugs installed 1000 km ago. It is only when i drive very polite and NOT when i accelerate freshly. It is Like the ignition is cut of for a second.
