Default cosworth engine starting problems!!

My pumas running a large turbo escos engine and im having problems starting it as it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders.

Ive not driven it much for a few weeks due to being skint so ive kept the battery topped up and aim to start it once a week. Now its been starting and warming up fine and running fine for a half our trip to warm up then ive put it back away again!

Now today having not been run for 10 days it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders and barely running. Obviously im not going to drive it like that!!!

Ive checked the leads in right, all the wiring, fluids etc so before i start pulling it to bits i need some advice from a cossie owner as im still quite new to cossies so dont know all thier quirks yet!!!

Im thinking next pull out spark plugs for a look followed by dizzy cap and rotor arm.

Any ideas? Thanks!!
