Coil pack breaking down?
Faulty spark plug?
Does it only do it in damp weather?

running rich at idle when cold might make her run a little rough until warm enough to ignite properly.

HT Ignition Leads. Formula Power. Best value and quality.

http://www.formulapower.com/index.ph...ath=1_839_2759
After fitting it, I am pretty sure these are the best HT scooby leads in town (turbo and non turbo).

1. quality. well made (in blighty! England!) so why pay more when you have the best is at your doorsteps?
2. weight. heavily insulated. felt like a bullwhip
3. price. subaru wants 68 quid. I paid about 50 incl delivery. and these are by far, superior. as they say in aussie "I reckon you gota bargain dont you?"

and to add the icing on the cake: photo
