yeah usually plug gap is too big when that happens....if your not on coilpacks then try reducing the gap to 0.5-0.6mm

basically it replaces the distributor on your cossie, they give a much stronger spark and allow you to run larger plug gaps,which usually improves your idle and your combustion too i'd imagine.

get in touch with Stu@MSD,he supplies all of the bits you'll need for it
