Only that when the coils or plugs get old, they might not transfer enough energy to get a decent spark.
The stock coils are pretty decent though.

I have just fitted blue 8mm magnecore leads, they seemed great for the first 10minutes or so in town with some mild acceleration, accelerated quick to 70 on the motorway, still nice, sat at 50 for a minute and started getting missfire.
Now works ok under 2000rpm and when reved in neutral, any acceleration and the engine just stops, revs drop then kick in again like masive misfire.
Has anyone any ideas? I'm not looking forward to taking it all apart again to put the old stock leands back on. The reson for changing was a mild loss of power when going up steep hills at 80-90 but previously driving around A roads, overtaking etc. was OK.
Thanks in advance,
Simon.
Did you hear a click when you pushed them on to the plugs?
The mighty Leedsnum has gone but the Airtrek mods will soon fill this space

I felt a light pop but not a hard click.
That maybe the prob. There not on properly & not getting a proper spark.
Do you have to push the back ones down pretty hard rather than just a good thumb press?
Yes they need a good bit of pressure on them to get the reassuring click.
That could be it. I will post my findings, thanks for comments.
The trick to making it work is putting it back together properly! The air pipe to the intercooler had come off because I hadn't tightened the jubilee. Going well now, next challenge is to make it stop, AYC, ABS and traction control lights still flashing all over the place, unrelated and for another day.
