hi guys
I noticed a slight splutter when high up in the revs a couple of weeks ago didn't think much of it really just was a bit strange. car only gets driven on weekends with having a work car so this weekend just gone i went to hit boost and the thing had this huge miss and splutters like crazy! other thing is when idling i could hit the throttle from idle like 500rpm and rev perfectly now it has these missing bussiness going on
So i took No.1 lead off spark plug and put in a screwdriver and on some metal has a purple/blue spark. It had a new coil/leads/plugs and has a elec Petronix ign installed all this was done 6 months ago oly done 4000kms if that i reakon.
What should i start looking at is it to do with engine or the turbo or is like ign spark releated?
Thanks for ya help
