Hey have to fix my 1.8 GDI 1997 legnum, has a broken cam oil seal, which leaks oil on the spark plugs causing a miss fire/ fluttering of revs at idle (between 600 and 1000rpm) when warmed up. Still get great mileage 12kms too a litre.
Also causes a miss fire when accellerating once warmed up. According it Mitsibushi experts as the car warms oil gets circulated onto the plugs hence runs fine when cold or with cleaned plugs untill it gets oiled and problem will get worse. Cost to repair $1350 quoted at $80p/hour.
So i'm going under the bonnett for a look. Does anyone have a pdf repair manual file I could have. MANY MANY thanks.
Have to do the cambelt at the same time.
