This little VTR I've bought has a missfire at low revs.
I've removed the plugs and found that they're NGK BKR6EK which are from a Corsa Sport but they should be 6EZ
Do you think this could cause the missfire im getting on idle and low revs?. It's ok in high revs.
It's alot better than it was as i found a big air leak around the inlet manifold so fixed that, cleaned the throttle body and breather pipes out, cleaned the icv out aswell.
Gna try new MAP sensor and Coil / leads tomorrow.
Could it be those wrong plugs?

Unless plugs aren't gapped properly they should be fine.
Just check they all spark properly

They are gapped to 0.9mm and they all spark.

They're the same heat rating though, just double electrode as opposed to 1.
I've changed coil pack, leads etc today. it's no different. Crank sensor was caked in shite so cleaned it up, seems better but still ropey.
Think it also had the wrong cts in it aswell (blue top as opposed to green) so changed that too, still not sorted. Plugs are black as fook, it's over fueling and eml is flicking on. I'll hazard a guess at that being the lambda then.........
might just strip it for parts.
