Thats when it started running funny on the way there, so i dropped off and the body work was done, it went in for it's MOT and failed on tick over as it was ticking over @ 1500+ but was put through as they know the car and it would be sorted.
I started the car to come home and it sounded to me that it was firing on 3 cyl and you could smell fuel under the bonnet and out the back very bad (no leaks under bonnet) then after a minute it cleared and ran on all cyl but was misfiring, i checked the plugs that were in it and they looked fine with correct gaps which were tested at the tuners, so i bought another set and exactly the same no different.
I can smell fuel but have no idea what it is, it's a bit of a pain as i have topped my budget on this car until i can build my savings up so i don't want to start chancing parts that aren't broken, i thought it would run spot on after i had it set-up but it's running worse.
if you get stuck fella i've got plenty of spares at mine which i would happy to try and fit for you?
But i'd try removing the dizzy cap make sure no moisture has got in there make sure your loom is ok try removing injectors wiring and see if problem still there, then try the plug on the same cylinder, if you got a spare Cap try that aswell, have you washed the engine bay down recently
