Default missfires

Right, some of you may have read me mention that I have had a boost problem, sometimes it would hold back and misfire when boosting, well someone has had a look today and said that ignition is breaking down somehow, and has advised try changing the plugs, if no joy then the leads..

My question is, after the leads then what?? the dizzy?? the coil?? what componants and in which order??

Also I had a problem last week that I have previously postd about) where the car cut out on 2 occasions, once at low revs going slow round a corner, and once whilst doing 110/120mph (on a controlled race track with safety a top priority and st johns ambulance on standby)....so...-

My second question is do you think these 2 faults are related?? and both cause by the same dodgy componant?? and if so what do you reckon it is??

Also just to mention, I have changed rotor arm n dizzy cap.

I would change plugs and leads first mate and see if that sorts it. Check your wireing could be a dodgy connection or earth. Bet your sick now mate, i know i would be but i bet its something daft, just have to get yourself stuck in and get it sorted mate, good luck
