the problem with my car is it doesn't start at once.I've to give atleast 2 minutes accelator(wrapp)so it heats the engine otherwise it'll stop.I'm sure it's the problem in spark plugs.

Do you mean that once you start it it dies immediately? And once the engine is warm it is fine?

If so, Stepper...

yep true bro,it dies immediately once u start.if i could change spark plugs then would work but to change it myself would b a drama.

stepper= stepper motor
the prob isnt necessarily the spark plugs, but the stepper motor

there's that horrible word again "stepper" these things are a real headache. as soon as i figure out how to bypass it i'll let everyone know.

Just replace the f**ken thing Col, for christ sake stop being a tight arse!

I've had all manner of them fail on me, always the old style metal casing with brown plastic backing. Replaced them with the new style all black plastic units & never had a problem since - on both our FTO's.

these black ones are better??? how much are they?
its not that im a tight arse, i just hate things that dont work the way they should. even if they cost $20 and didn't work i would still hate em. im always looking for ways to do things better.
