the above that's hi lighted could be your problem as for your spec I'd use Champion QC 59C which are fine for up to 400bhp and the QC57C which you have are for 400+ bhp which you DONT have and when used in under DO/WILL give a rough tick over!

If you have not done anything about the igintion coil now would be the time to do so, with a group a as a minimum, if it still loses spark with this and decent plugs you MAY need a coilpack conversion but would not have thought so at this spec.
