right im back, sorry about bein gone so soon after joining, lots of stuff got in the way but finally have a chance to get back on. changed the coilpacks as suggested, but to my dismay it still misfires on acceleration and sometimes at idle, it's bad and the car lacks power.

Must be something basic and fundamental, I mean if it were that serious it wouldn't work at all I would've thought.
I notice that the 8V version has got a capacitor across the supply for the coil driver module, could be like in the old contact breaker method if the "condenser" was up the spout it wouldn't spark properly (?)

Have you checked the wiring where it goes into the cyl head / valve cover at the back, I've seen these with no insulation and shorting out.....A very common problem and causes misfires etc

IIRC I'm assuming this is already checked out / fixed, plus spark plugs not worn to nothing (the other favourite), but no harm asking again

PS you can get high Voltage pulses on the primary side of the coils as well, not a lot of people know that, which is why the ol' breaker condenser is needed.
