Default Car's Sick ... any Ideas/who to repair ?

My Car's gone sick and I don't know what's up.

It's an MY 99 RB5 with Tek2 + K&N panel and De-cat. Driving upto Aberdeen for work I put the foot down coming onto the M90 and the car stuttered/missfired lots. I backed off the gas and the CEL wasn't illuminated. I continued up the road to find that the car only missed when more than 1/2 Throttle was applied and over 12/13 PSI. I Don't have a clue about car problems but from what I've read I'd think Coil/Plugs ?

I need someone in scotland to fix her any ideas ? ( I use Town and County for my Service's )

Craig,

Did you check what the ECU code is?

I've never had the CEL come on anytime it's happened

does the ECU still keep fault codes without theCEL lighting ?

Sorry, mis-read your post. thought you said the CEL was illuminated.

John, does Job have anything like DeltaDash for reading ECU info??

I think I'll give it down to Job to have a look . He's only down the road and I've heard nothing but good things.
