    Could be an ignition or timing issue looking at the glaze on the plugs mate

    Right would explain why it was missing then if it is timing/ignition issue. Ive checked rotor/dizzy but will double check. Also will check the timing again cheers.

    Got mixed opinions on the plugs. People saying running lean other saying healthy.

    Ok,

    The truth is, you just cant tell the mixture from a plug. its an indication of extremes.

    They are all evenly coloured which is good.

    theyre not coked, oily or wet.

    theyre not white or glazed.

    both of the above can give obscured readings depending on the suitability of the temperature rating of the plug and the condition it has been run in.

    presumably you didnt do a plug chop under boost, so these will reflect more the mixture at idle than any on-load condition.

    Either way there doesnt seem to be a huge problem and in any case it, wouldnt help you with your diagnosis anyway as a rich or lean condition could be caused by virtually any ECU input misbehaving.
