VS Servicing

[BlueBoy]

I'm having a issue with my VS Acclaim.
After a service where the leads, plugs, air filter and oil filter were changed it's misfiring a litle.
I noticed one replacement plug had been bent, so I put one of the old plugs back. (all gapped at .8).
The parts are all Ricoh, except for the leads which are Top Gun.

Other Checks To Look At.

Engine Misfires

1) Incorrect Gap, Faulty Spark Plugs
2)weak Or Inconsistant Spark.checl Leads For Moisture,dust Burns.check Resistantance Of Each Lead.test Ingnition System
3)faulty Wiring Connections-check At Crank Angle Sensor And Dfi Module Are Clean And Securer
4)faulty Fuel Injector-check Fuel Injection System
5)fuel-check Supply,block Filter Or Incorrect Pressurer Or Water In Fuel
6)vacum Leaks-check Around Vacum Hoses,throttle Body And Inlet Manifold.

Check 1 And 2 First They Are More Likely Be The Problem.l Think The Gap Is 1.5mm??? Not Sure You Have Right Gap.dfi Module Is Around The Coils Ok And Check Spark Plug Resistant Us Ohmmeter, Connect Neg To End That Goes To Plg And Positive To Coil..also For Vacum Leaks Use Oil In Oil Can,not Water.l Hope This Helps

Thanks. I didn't expect a post that detailed.
I discovered the problem: The plugs were tightened too much and they cracked.

Live and learn.
