Default Misfire Before Boost on ERST

Gent/Ladies,

I have been having problems with my ERST for months now and I thought I had finally sorted all the running problems.

Last night after a hard day at work, I was driving home when a car fucked me off by stopping with no warning in front of me so I stopped the car, flicked the bird and booted it off.

High revs, wheel spin it was all good, UNTIL I got to a roundabout and my problems have started. Under low boost or no boost I have a missfire. It is slight but the engine is hesitant unitl you get onto the turbo. When I got the car home I checked air pipes had a little look at the dizzy etc. (in the dark) and everything seemed fine. I took the car out this morning and the miss seemed better when the car was cold but still there but as soon as it got hot it seemed to get worse.

I am on ebay right now looking for dizzy, new cap, rotor arm, leads (plugs are only 4 weeks old)

ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS???????

Also if you live in the Birmingham area, are there any good tuners about as it needs proper setting up aswell.

Regards

Rob
