After drivig my eunos 1.8 last few times if i put the car side ways it would develop a misfire afterwards anyone know what could cause this new lucas leads plugs are fine. Have a coil pack to fit but is there anything else it could be.

The car would become very hesitant after being slided have your foot down nothing nothing then boom new lease of life. Hope some one can help me out here

Dont be going sideways.!!!! If cars were meant to go sideways there would be a steering wheel facing out the door rather than the windscreen......... I am only guessing but could it be fuel issue or even low fuel in tank ?? Coils are a bit troublsome as you know so try that first .Sounds like car is not able to keep enough fuel pumped maybe ,fuel pump fault.??

I drift both of mine and never had this problem only problem i evet had was if under 1/4 tank of petrol in the car it would die off sometimes with the petrol moving in the tank

Ill go sideways i bought the car to have fun with.

The fuel level was at half way point so wouldn be low fueli drove it today out the road and it was ok to drive for a bit next thig it became hesitant head wreck as soon as i get the chance to do the coil i will. So you guys think it could also be pump related
