hsv vs clubsport 5l manual
I have a 96 manual clubsort 5l that had a slight misfire which has now turned into a massive misfire which sounds like the cars not running on all cylinders.but I've also lost power it barely accelerates now. I changed the spark plugs and leads and got a new dissy cap and fuel filter but im running out of ideas.

Dissy rotor & hall effect sensor. Ign module. Check injectors are pulsing, check throttlebody, tps, and IAC.

Those are your next list of items

Little misfire to massive misfire.

Sounds like you have your firing order wrong.

Put into diagnostics mode check for fault codes then look at usual suspects.

You'll also have to double-check what you did as seems like you made it worse.

Nope, have you opened your bonnet, sounds like a belt been thrown after either the A/C **** itself or water pump to a Idle pulley.
