Thats a good idea not thought of that (Putting new ones back in to see) Jarvas i changed the plugs one at a time like you say so deffo not mixed up. Before i put old ones back in im going to try your method. So when i pull one lead off at a time how will i know which one is the 'bad one'...

Today iv been all round the engine checking for any lose wires that i may have knocked out of place whilst doing the service. Iv checked the CPS sensor and its all snug and hasnt been disturbed at all. Fuse box as it should (No burnt smell) fuses all good. I tightened the spark plugs...

I may have leaned on the fuse box at some point (getting to the plugs) Plus i may have spilt a bit of water/coolant on it when flushing the rad... As mentioned above with the blocked breather hole for the fuel, when i went to put petrol in last night (After it had ran out) i unscrewed the fuel...

Just come home from work..... It started up fine, drove for about half a mile, got to some traffic lights and it slowly died and cut out!? Started up near enough straight away, drove to next set of lights abouts 300 meters down the road then nearly died again. Just about to completly cut...

No worries mate, cheers for your help! Will let you know of any progress :)

Ahh, that sounds about right then mate! Would this cause the symptoms I have? Just a thought?

Ok fella will do. Only on other thing I can think I when I was changing the plugs they were in nice and tight (not too tight) but when it put the new ones in they didn't seem to 'nip' up tight.... They deffo not cross threaded but not as tight as the originals?

No once it's started it runs great, just whilst starting... Would a partially blocked fuel filter cause this? It ran out of petrol (but kept running on LPG till I got to the petrol staion)

If I had a blocked/partially blocked fuel filter would this give these symptoms? Say if I was to run out of fuel and drag some crap up??

NGK mate

4.0 p38 running great start first time after about 3 seconds.... Changed spark plugs, oil/filter, gearbox oil flushed coolant out Now it takes about 6-7 seconds to start now, smelt like it was flooded with petrol after it fires up! What's causing this as it was running and starting great...

Cheers nice1 ;):)

LOL, na didnt know if there were different variations.... :)

Is that the R380 does not have a filter or my gearbox mate? Whats my gearbox?

Hummm and thats to fit mine?

I was under the impression (Read on here) that there was a Gearbox Oil Filter on me motor.... Its a 1996 P38 4.0l with auto box Went to get all the filters and oils ready for me doing a service on Saturday, and the guy (Andrew Pages) said that it dint have one?? Checked Rave and cant find...

I'm actually writing this post on me iPhone, it's awsome can access anything any where (sat having a dump rite now!) with great ease and speed :D Cant beat a laptop, but when I'm miles from home the iPhone is second to none ;)

Ah im with you! Cheers matey 3 it is then ;)

Cheers mate, but will it be ok if i put in Dextron 2 and there was Dextron 3 in before, as the resiual oil in the torque converter will mix? Or does this not matter at all? Also just read a few post up and it said if you have a dipstick you refil the oil through the dipstick tube, Is this true?

What's the difference between dextron 2 and dextron 3? Would there be any way of knowing what's in the box now, ie no effects on them mixing (with what's left in the torque converter)
