My car seems to be mis-firing when it first starts up.

Gets better as the engine warms up but its the first time this has happened.

All the usual stuff like dizzy leads etc are new.

Noticed the mis-fire when I filled her up with usual 95RON unleaded from BP.

Have got a K&N bolt on and a heat kit to feed it with warm air from the manifold. its a 1.2 carb. Also its got a 3" sportex back box which probably amplifys the mis-fire!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Is it foggy where you are :?: It is where I am it might just be damp Mine was running a little bit lumpy this evening when the fog started drifting spray the dizzy and leads with damp start it don't cost alot and lasts a while :wink: You could also change the dizzy,leads and plugs as this might not be the problem :D
