    i would start with the leads mine did the same thing and the terminals on the leads had corroded out and they basically were just sitting on the coil pack not clipped on tightly

    i will be giving it a full service very soon. i only just brought it and i filled it up with vortex fuel and it seems to have stopped? is it possible bad fuel would cause it to miss?

    if it had 91 in it that can make it ping and the ecu pulls timing can feel like a miss when it happens

    I would put money on fuel being the issue.

    I had a drama recently where even on the 91 RON timing map, it would ping its head off.

    Run better fuel through it and a bit of booster, fixed. Back onto the 95 RON map

    So yeah, fuel.

    Is the car modified at all? Smaller charger pulley or anything?

    Will most likely be leads but if you have a smaller charger pulley and haven't changed to a different gap plug it could be a possibility too. Most common cause of break down is spark related
