I have been having problems getting my S3 to start recently, it seems that the plugs are not getting warm enough.
Today I tested the voltage being supplied to each plug in turn (it is original in-series wiring not the updated parallel), the readings I got were:
No.1 6.2v
No.2 4.5v
No.3 1.8v
No4. 0.8v
Now I'm guessing that there will be loss across the in-series wiring but at these readings any plug beyond No.2 will not be getting anywhere near enough juice to warm them.
Does anyone have any advice, I'm expecting that it will be to change the plugs but could I supplement the feed to plugs 3&4 by wiring another lead from the ballast resistor to start at No.3?
