Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My car is miss firing, it is still driveable and recently i have noticed that whilist driving the car it feels and sounds like it is running out of fuel, it has got fuel in the tank so its not that, i have checked the spark plugs and they seem to be fine,i think it could be something to do with the ignition,much appriciate if someone could give me some advice. Thanks

If it,s missfiring it could be plug leads.You have to isolate which cylinder is causing the missfire.you can do this by pulling off a plug lead using insulated pliers and see which cylinder makes the least difference to engine running.once you have located which cylinder then you can then swap lead,plug,or check compression,etc. hope this helps.
