After I had a breakdown on my way to work a couple of weeks ago she isn't running right. She cut out on me witch turned out to be a loss of spark witch was sorted with a new ignition module. but still didn't start so I advanced the dizzy slightly and now she runs. However she now is misfiring all the way through the revs, I put new plugs in yesterday but still hasn't made any difference. Will be checking the leads but I doubt it's them as they're vurtially new. any help or pointers would be great. 1.2 carb engine btw cheers

Compression test or air leak
Check your servo also could be non return valve or problem with servo
bad earth many things it could be I would clean the earths as that could be part of the ignition problem

If ignition module has gone down could be coil/dizzy related
