I drive to work in the morning...the ferret runs nice and smooth.
I drive home in the evening and it starts to run as rough as hell half way home...about 5 miles into the journey. I use the same roads, with the same amount of stop/start and traffic.
I have already renewed all the HT and LT leads, and put a NOS distributor in. All new plugs also.
I don't think its fuel, although I could be wrong.
It idles fine, and at low revs it is also fine. Its when it gets above 2000rpm that it all goes pear shape. It splutters, pops/backfires and feels like its cutting out.
My next guess is maybe the coil is on its way out? Maybe because its been hot from the morning run?

How do you test a coil? Are they easy to source?
Cheers
