Default Help - Top 2 Cylinders Misfire on 1600
Can anyone tell me why the front two (closet to the fly-wheel) cylinders on a 1600 are misfiring? They intermitently fire at idle, more-so when engine is warm.
Thanks!

How do you know it is those two cylinders that are misfiring?

Have you checked the plugs? When was the last time you checked valve lash? Miles on the engine?

My first thing would be check plugs then adjust valves .006 is recomended for 1600 cc.
