A little while ago (about a year) my car was starting ok and then after about 3-4 mile its would begin misfiring and stuttering under low revs. The diagnosis on this forum was an old distributor cap which can be a common problem with moisture getting in. I replaced the cap, spark plugs and leads and the problem went away. Excellent.
However... it has started again and it can't be moisture since it has been in a dry garage in Bristol and we havent had any rain for 3 weeks. I took it out the other day and had to turn back b/c it was getting bad. By the time I literally got home it cut out altogether.
Suggestions on a post card if you please ?
Many thanks
