MR2 Owners Club

Just taken the mr2 out today and on acceleration its hesitating and seems to misfire a bit. It’s been fine up to now but not
Driven it for about 4 months.
It doesn’t do it all the time it pulls good up hills and idles really well.
Some times it will accelerate through all the gears Like it should with no problems at all.
Read the ecu code and only shows one blink of the dashboard light then about five seconds pause then one blink again so
Don’t think there is any faults to display.
Anyone know where to start fault finding.

Ecu code is normal for no stored faults. Fault codes are here https://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2/mk1 ... kbartid=61
If you haven't run it for 4 months then I'd suggest the following- clean (or replace) the spark plugs, check the HT leads are dry, clean and secure. Clean the contacts inside the distributor cap and the rotor arm. Put in fresh fuel.

Ok thanks for the reply. Checked and cleaned plugs HT leads are fine.
Pulled the Distributor and found that two of the wires are near cut half way through so going to replace the cables.
Hopefully that might be the problem.
