Konrad C 974 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I started a thread about my car not liking supermarket fuel, because my car had what turns out to be misfire, happened not long after filling up with Asda petrol. I used most of that petrol and filled up with Shell petrol. The change was amazing. No hiccup in most situations - there was a slight hiccup but no way as bad as with the supermarket fuel.I decided to use Sainsbury fuel nearly 2 weeks back and the hiccup came back a bit. Not as bad as before, but it was there. Well last week it got really bad. I decided to change the HT leads since I bought them when I bought new spark plugs (Denso Iridium) a month back.What a difference and cure. All the problems were down to the HT leads! I had change the HT leads nearly 4 years ago. Those leads replaced the original Toyota leads which did over 10 years service. I hope these leads last as long the first set.Now I can put any fuel I want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t-spiritpete 119 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Nice one Konrad,I have come across the same thing over the years especially since the newer type carbon string leads came out which was actually a very long time ago. I don't think they are as good as the old copper wire type but with this type you needed suppressor caps to avoid radio interferrence. Anyway what a good result for you not needing to put decent fuel in now, LOL ... pity I can't/won't put the cheapo derv in mine then. I have just treated mine to a bottle of Forte diesel additive as I do twice a year, never tried Mistermenas BG 244 as yet.Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
