Default 4wd saph cos Problem Missing ect when warm ??????

I was wondering if anyone could help with some idea's ect on whot it could be ? Right


*****Please Note i have'nt been out in this car or seen it as its a m8 of mine in essex *****

When i get Warm/Hot (not over heating tho) It miss's and hesitates the car has only 2 owers from new 2nd one being my m8 , it has done 120k (i think) fsh ect completly standard ,
It was standing for some time (how long i dont know but i have know the car for about 5yrs+ as it was local to my mum and dads in essex and was'nt being used as far as i know of , so my m8 went and asked how much he wanted for it and brought it

Whot he has done so far is ;

New fuel tank as he old one had a hole ,
New Plugs,
Leads rocker gasket,
Roter Arm,
Dizzy Cap.

Yet its still messing about

Due to this Problem after having it Fully resprayed fitting twin head lights ect he is now thinking of selling it and buying a bike i've tried talking him out of it but he said his RST was alot more fun and the cossie is a big let down (or tho his RST was putting out 198bhp i belive so not standard)
so he has had engouht of the cossie due to it feeling slow and boring

Need more info than that boss ? ? ?

When it gets hot the engine just starts missin ? Have you pulled the individule plug leads off to try determin which cylinder its missin on ? Are the plugs gapped ? Could it be flooded ? Have ya checked all connections are tight & good contact ? Does it clear when you open the throttle ? Any dodgy noises ? etc
