Had my car apart doing the tappets and putting new exhaust cam in over the past couple of weekends, got it back together last weekend started it and everything was fine. Started back up this weekend and sounded fine soon as you rev it up it was missing, checked spark plugs and they was all coked up bearing in mind I cleaned them up before refitting the weekend before and it has only run up to temp not drove anywhere.

Number 2 was wet, anyway done the test where you take the ht lead off and car runs rough, done it on number 1 and it went rough as it is supposed to, but number 2 the car didn’t get effected, number 3 and 4 were fine.

So tested the lead 2 and plug by trying on the suspension turret and it was sparking.

Friend of mine who used to be a mechanic has told me to get a compression test to see if that is ok.

Does this sound like a familiar problem?
