Timming could be out, U need a white Timming gun to set it up. Change Plugs leads and dissy cap and then get it set-up, If its poping and bannging and sounding raggid then its ur timming, dont ajust this urself as this should and always be done with a timming gun which if done wrong could and will pop a few rings or legs outa bed. I had this problem with my old 1.6 engine and timming was far out after changed it poped a ring on number 3!
