Try changing the fuel and air filters.

Ta, G.

Why didnt you change the Dissy cap and rotor arm whilst you were at it? Most likely cause.

Tim..

it hasnt got a dissy cap and rotor arm its all electrical thanks for the help

thanks done both of them and it still happening

I think you'll find that a 93 1.2 8 valve SPI does have a dissy cap.

Tim..

My wife used to have one of these - and that certainly had a dizzy carp and rotor arm.

I trust you did *not* tell her she had a 'dizzy carp'!
