What tyres are you running?

Re: rough idling, C18NZ

Well i checked my plugs just now, they seem ok, slightly fuzzy electrodes, but no sign of severe corrosion/suttiness, etc. The starter motor sounds perfect, i cranked it over with no leads in, cranks over fine, with the odd "cough" as if it wanted to start. A guy i know suggested this tri...

Re: rough idling, C18NZ

Thanks Gary. i have my suspicions about the injectors too. Never checked them, but i have been using a fair bit of STP additive. On my SPI, how many injectors are there? i was never sure :lol:

Re: rough idling, C18NZ

Hi mate. Ye, like i said, it turns over fine, and as soon as it starts, the rough idling begins. When it warms up, its not as bad, but still not smooth. I know its probably something simple but i cant figure out what :? thanks for the reply mate :wave

water bubbles on car

So is it true then, when people say, if a car's been well looked after, there are a lot of bubbles on it after rain. I think its true, i'm the only one (honestly) on my part of the road who actually puts a bit of elbow grease into their car, and i could swear my Cav has the best bubbles on it after ...
