[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 6179, member: 58"] Hi Rod, Several years ago I had a car which exibited the same problem. It started no problem and would tickover, but as soon as you moved away and increased the revs it would misfire and eventually stall and be difficult to start for several minutes. The problem was the ignition coil which was an oil filled coil and not a modern solid potted coil. What was happening was the coil was breaking down internally and as you increased the revs, it put more load on the coil which heated it up and made the problem worst. Once the coil cooled down the car would start again. So if you havent already checked the coils, try borrowing a replacement just to try as you may not be able to electrically measure any fault.
