hi, guys, I am really happy that Levymetal and centy gave me veyr helpful advice, went out to have a look at the lead, two have corrision. rushed to super cheap and grabed Bosch for 55 bucks( only one available) started the car, bueatiful, no choking and really smooth on gas. Thanks people, do onot need to look for another car. just wondering if I should change the leads of my tribute, a real little sucker, 16 liters around city. What brand is the best one, I suppose the Bosch is not the fancy one.
bosch are fine mate![]()
hey mate, good to see nothing major was wrong with your car. bosch is a pretty good brand, there may be better ones out there but i doubt you'll notice the difference.
the reason why your car was running better on petrol than gas on those old leads is because gas requires around double the electrical energy to ignite it as opposed to petrol. the igniting power was good enough for petrol, but didn't cut it on gas.
if you haven't changed the leads on your tribute in a while you may as well give it a go. not very expensive and may make a (small, but noticeable) difference
there are 3 long leads and 3 shrt ones, do not know if I get it right, what if I got it wrong? checked the manual in supercheap but it did not say.
