Have you tried pulling off one plug lead at a time to see which cylinder is not firing |

What plug leads are you running? If they are suppression type, put a multimeter on them to check resistance. bend them around and see if reading goes open circuit. If so it is toasted. Anything over 5K ohm I put in the bin. New Bosch ones are 1.5-1.8 K ohm, GR's ones are lots less. If buying new, get inductive core leads (Bosch, GR's etc), not graphited string (cheapies). |

My car can't idle nicely under 1200rpmish? Just up the idle to 1100-1200? (provided you check the leads etc as Kev is saying) |

I'll check the cables tonight but I have upped the idle and adjusted the fuel mixer and this morning it was running like a demon |

I like the wire cable type of lead, bullet proof... |

Inductive core cable is good. It is similar to the shielding found in coax cable. |

Well after a lot of tinkering "as my wife calls it" it's running a lot better but I still have a bit of pinging when it's under a bit of load Also found a neat trick on YouTube on looking for escaping spark Turn the lights out make the garage really dark. Run your engine get a spray bottle on mist and spray it over your leads cool and distributor to see if any sparks occur. I found I needed to shield a couple of cables on my coil noticed they let off a couple of sparks. Love these little tricks |

I put my timing light on each lead and see if there are any gaps in the flashing |
