im getting a lot of sparks from the end of the ht lead that connects to the ignition coil. the engine will idle over but it keeps struggling to a stall.
i had a look under the bonnet in the dark and the sparks were coming from either end of the ht lead. pulled the plugs cleaned and put back.now the sparks are just coming from the ignition coil end.
do i just need a new set of leads?
