1.2i Not Running Right

1.2i Nova isn't running right - Ticks over brilliant but when you drive or do the slightest bit of acceleration it jumps/misses/jerks nearly causing whiplash

Just had brand new plugs put in it, checked dizzy cap and everything seems fine in there - Gave it a wee clean, all leads seem fine as well (Not changed them yet though)

But the car ticking over sounds brilliant just as it should be when driving it jumps/misses/jerks etc

Anyone any ideas ?

Cheers, Vaughan

Try the injector vaughan there known for failing.

Put on some new leads, dizzy cap and rotar arm and all seems to be going well

I'll know better when I take it a longer run to see if it's cured it but seems to have :)

maybe just letting clutch out to fast without reving it Kangaroo FTW haha lol

That's what it was like mate but it wasn't that lol

Cured now I think/hope :)

Coil or Dizzy if the problem is still there

All cured now - Going sweet

Happy times!

Was nearly time for a mans engine if the 1.2i didn't fire up right lol
