172 misifring/mot starting

[MikeyK18]

hi all, i have a ph1 172 and its not running properly, the spark leads needed replaced and i had a temp set of leads on til i got my replacements.

it ran ok for a while then on the way to work it misfired, so i pulled over to check the temp leads hadnt came of the coil pack and the car refused to start.

have got a coil pack to try but stll have no idea what the problem could be

some people have said it could be the tdc sensor but i have been told by a few people the ph1 doesnt have a tdc sensor :S

could someone shed some light on my problem please??

(title is supposed to read 172 misfiring/not starting lol)

Check the sparkplugs have no moisture near or on them maybe might be oil aswell maybe to low

the spark plugs are fine and there is plenty of oil

the coil was dodgy and was blowing fuses that stopped the car from sparking, the other coil i had was is worse nick that the original pack that was on the car and it went too

so new pack ordered and jobs a good un
