    bad idle/ hesitant throttle response

    All 4 measured within spec as did the plugs?. I read a thread on here someone had same problem and fixed it with coil sticks so did the same and voila all fixed, the tourmax are a lot cheaper than oem and are made by the same company. I am happy too mate thanks.
