Good morning hope your all well,
I have a problem with the main coil lead, however below i have tried explaine what the problem was and hope to get some advise.
I had a problem yesterday evening , car all of a sudden started to loose power and revs went down and the car stalled (un-usual for an AUTO), I re-started her few times and same thing happend. After the 3rd attempt car was ticking over but not starting, it was like when you get a immobliser stopping car starting engine turns but doesnt fire to start.
Called the RAC out chap carried out few tests spraying a substance in some part pf the engine, checked battery etc and said no problem with fuel getting thorough etc or battery.
He than moved the main coil lead a little (think its called KING LEAD just one lead on its own) it runs from a liitle metal box with a lead coming out which then goes in to the other spark plug leads cap(HT). The chap then opened the cover for spark plugs go and took one of the leads off asked me to turn key the key just fired up as normal , did this few times no problem.
The guy seems to think its the king lead which is causeing the problem there is a black tape wrapped around it at the end he said that should not be there as they should never have tape on them.
***Question:****
1) Could this be the main problem, any one have any other possiblities that i need to change or clean
2) where or who is the best person to get a lead from & should i change the plug leads also basically the whole lead pack.
3) What sort of price should i be looking to pay for these (or this lead)
Would second hand ones be ok or best to get new
Apologise for the long email but i though it be good to explain what happend.
P.s car is an AUTO N/A
