Got my car back, And ive been putting Unleaded in it.

Just read a topic about running on, and somebody said putin unleaded in a leaded engine can cause this.

How can I tell if my engine is leaded or unleaded.

It came from a Austin Metro.

The age of the engine should give you a rough idea. If it was mid-late 90s on its almost deffo unleaded

That's assuming it's the original head :lol:

PS. and that thread about unleaded causing a run-on is no strictly true.. There's more to it whan that..
