    Default Engine miss firing

    Info/Story: VN Commodore S 1991, recent engine conversion from series 1 to series 2, full wire loom & inlet & exhaust manifold swap, converted engine to series 2.

    Today was driving around, engine was running nicely for about 2 hours (driving around town) before I drove really hard uphill and now the engine is miss-firing, idling okay but can hear one miss fire, sounds like one spark plugs isn't working.

    I replaced ECM to other one from Series 1 commodore, no change. Changed spark plugs to new ones - no change.. Since darkness fall in, I am bummed what else it could be?

    My thought would be tension leads that could be on way out but how could it go after driving hard?

    Any second thoughts?

    Cheers

    edit: engine still missfires any speeds - from 0 to 80kmh, didnt drive over 80kmh.

    Can i use series 1 coil pack?

    Is there any types that are good ones?

    Is it common for them to cause miss-firing?
