I didn't add fuel stabiliser ... but at the time i last started and noticed the misfire the fuel was 2 weeks old, but i agree old fuel will not help the matter.
I need to go back to the garage and inspect the leads,caps etc, I have ruled out the plugs due to the fact they are only 1000 miles old,however i will still pull them and inspect.
ok so i guess it a case of starting at the plugs and working backwards, so i'm guessing the suppressor caps are screw on ones?? so is it just a case of chopping a bit off and winding them back on?
I'm hoping that i dont need new caps as money is tight right now.
Regarding the TPS it has those tamperproof screws on them is there away around this??
You would only adjust the TPS if it was in the wrong position, then you would need a T25 size Torx security key, the one with the hole in the middle.
But it needs to simply be checked first to see if the needle lands on the 5000rpm mark. If it does then you leave it well alone.
If it isn't then you can adjust it until it's correct, but from previous experience you then need to check it again a few days later. If it has moved off the 5000rpm position again then you have a faulty TPS.
And if it ever did turn out to be deemed faulty, DO NOT buy a used one. If you do you could be buying one that is 20+ years old and could fail on you the next day.
Mind you, you say you're selling it so i don't suppose that would really bother you too much.
