[Mk2] [NA] MR2 MK2 Rain in plug #1

Post by markyj1969 »

With all the rain lately my MR2 has been spluttering a bit, found that spark plug #1 has been letting in rain water and needs replacing, any ideas what I can do to stop the rain getting in.

Is the HT lead sitting correctly? It should form a seal on the valve cover.

you could smear some vaseline on the ht lead where it goes into the rubber boot at the top and also around the boot where it meets the cam cover.
