Anyone familiar with Aston Martins?
« on: 05 February 2012, 20:24:21 »

Got a DB7 1995 'N' very slight misfire, it's the 3.2 Inline 6 Supercharged model any ideas?

You can just about hear it towards the end of the video.

Haven't long had it, I'll get under the bonnet tomorrow and pull them out. Not had a chance to have a play, was just concerned that there could be a common fault with it. Hopefully it'll be something simple.

they're "coil-on-plug" - suspect a coil's gone down.

Other than that, they're pretty reliable.

It's just about the same motor as in my XJR

Wasn't the XJR engine of that era a 4.0 supercharged (beast!) rather than a 3.2?

Deal, poxy thing is winding me up now, dodgy battery, lacquer peeling on the boot, wheels need a refurb, headlights have gone an odd colour. It's still nice though. Although it's full of wood and switches seriously from a 90's Ford Scorpio. Got a special feel to it though  :-*.

Del - I have only had experience of the V12 Aston - but that had a slight missfire when cold, turned out to be a damp ECU that was under the passenger seat/footwell, the connector had furred up.

Hope that helps
