Hi, i drive an old ford courier 2.2l pick-up. A mechanic adjusted the tapets as it was making quiet a noise. The engine is quieter only now its misfiring. When going a slow speed i feel it more, when i speed up i dont feel it as much. What could the reason for this be? i have replaced one faulty spark plug cable and fuel filtre. sometimes its worse than other times. thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Replace the other plugs & leads, check the distributor cap for cracks, check compressions.

Start here.
