Right then peeps.
Just been out for a bit of a play in the car.
Hit the VTEC a couple of times, nothing major. but when I pulled out the yard and was just on tick over
it started missing.

Iv checked the plugs and they dont look that bad realy. any body got any ideas what I could check next?

Well just been out for a drive to halfords and tesco, Filled up with super unleaded, then popped to halfords to get new plugs.
The car drove fine, no missing or any thing once Id got going, but at tick over its still sounding like a subaru.
I changed the plugs and number 1 was wet and black. The rest were all fine.
Put the new plugs in, drove home, same thing, drove great when moving but at tick over splutter splutter splutter.

just going out now to check the spark on 1

Mines the oppersite. Runs like crap at tick over, but runs great while driving
