G'day,

Check the plugs, leads then Coil, in that order. Double check for head gasget and being a 91, check 'short nose' issues.
Cheers, Rob

Once again, I'd bet Li7hium's left nut it's leads. And being a 91 you don't have to worry about \"short-nose\" issues, cause it will have a long nose. :D That changed in Sept 1990 I beleive.

Get the seller to throw in a set of plugs and leads and test drive it again. I'm sure if you explain that that is your only worry, they'll be accomodating.

Also the oxygen sensor can give problems from about 3000rpm in early na's....

Oh, and Boags will back me up on this - make sure it has enough fuel in it :D :wink:
