BruceW Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Well done Caterham/Rover! My 1.6 K series engine was supplied without the HT leads from the coils to the plugs-this explains a certain reluctance to start! Caterham said 'Oh we get a few like that'. All connected and it started fine but lots of popping at idle-not at all sure this is as it should be. Made me wonder if I had connected the HT leads correctly-should the coils be attached to the plugs below and immediately adjacent? The cables are a bit long for this but I cannot see any logic in connecting 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 together which is the alternative routing. Not sure if it would make a difference anyway. Should I relax about the popping at idle? Bit worried it may harm the catalyst. Any other suggestions or is it normal? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I don't know if this is still the case, but Rover engines were supplied with a basic ignition/fuelling map which was self-adapting to the driver. Hence the first time the engine is run it may be a little rough. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
