Thread: V8 missing under load,

I would definitely do a compressions test, it will tell you if you have a problem with a ring or valve. In the case there is one or two cylinder with a pre ignition pressure problem, you might need to go further and do a leakage test to identify the source of the problem.

Let us know if you find it. I'm off to change the leads on mine which is the only thing I haven't done so far...

Cheers,

Leads fixed the miss. Checking the old leads with the multimeter showed a few with a higher resistance reading than the rest. Which just happened to corrospond to those leads that were a bit long and run closer to the exhaust manifolds.

Runs sweet now

Next on the list
new tyres (245/75's)
new steering damper
2" lift
Timing case seal
Trans cooler hoses
Try and prise the keys off the missus
