Cool Mis-fire

Now the Bear throws up another problem. Under power she hesitates, like a mis-fire but only on the go. Stationary she revs ok. I’m assuming it’s a coil pack problem.

A lesson learnt over years- any mis fire and the first thing to consider is a faulty coil pack and or leads - exacerbated in colder weather. Dont forget any sustained driving with a repeating misfire can knacker your Cat as i know to my cost.

Fit a set of MSD's, it will be the best money you have spent. It will start easier hot or cold and you will feel the difference when you drive.

They seem to sell many parts. Which ones do you mean or do you mean everything they sell.--That could be expensive as the OP might have any of those ignition parts faulty.---

Not sure of my number but it’s a 2004. Been with me since I acquired her for half price when Rover went bust.
