    sounds like you need new leads, they dont last forever, replace them 1 at a time

    look at engine running in the dark for any sparks

    usually if u replace one lead you may as well replace them all then you dont loose track on what leads are new/old.
    While your doing leads you may as well check plugs give em a clean. Or replace them as well :P
    Cracked lead will cause it to earth out on the block/head and not fire in the cylinder
