    You haven't really told us what the problem is.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    we had the same problem ages ago.. replace the coil pack and DFI module and the crank angle censer and cam censer and see if that fixes it

    If you have already replaced the CAS, coils and DFI, I would replace the leads when you change the plugs.


    Breaking down under load would normally indicate a secondary (hi voltage) ignition fault.
    If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

    Usually by replacing a faulty spark plug or lead. You can check the resistance of the leads or buy a new set, which is a good idea anyway, especially if they have been on the car for a long time, and the same goes for spark plugs.

    As above, plus the coil packs.

    MAF - Mass Air Flow Meter, TPS - Throttle Position Sensor or your MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor. These can sometimes be faulty and cause the above problems.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
