that it too a mechanic it will end up cheaper than replacing things as we guess what it might be. Try finding and reading the workshop manual? How many things will a 22 year old car want to pass an honest road worthy why bother in most cases unless you love the car it probably wont end up cheap motoring.

Thanks for the reply. As it had no rego (just ran out) on saturday i registered it, im pissed that he was taken for a ride (he's only 18 with no real idea about cars) the vr is the straightest car ive seen being 22 yrs old. Yes your right best to take to a mechanic i bought a workshop manual omg ign module done then suggests coil pack, dizzy probs the list goes on. Cheers again "the_boozer

Hi, check the two wires at the coil. There is a push-on connector from ignition and a crimped eyelet that is attached onto the coil with a nut. ( from ign module ).
On my SS the crimp was corroded and the engine would cut out while driving.
I soldered on a new eyelet
to the wire and no problem since.
The coil is in a dam awkward position and is best to relocate to the firewall.

Hope this helps.

Check/replace the distributor -> coil lead. Had this problem on my new (at the time) VS V8 Calais.
