Hi Guys n girls!

I need a liitle advice for my darling 156. It has developed a missfire. When cold it runs like a dream when it gets to 60ish degrees it starts coughing and spluttering? Maf chaned 11 months ago. No leaks on air intake, exhasut all sound, plugs approx 40K old (have checked the easy ones and look ok!) When stood it starts to miss and stinks of catylist any ideas? like I say great when cold, really getting me down not to have her running properly!!

Just one more note which may effect things when i took out the front plus there was water in the plug channels, probably from when i had some body work done a while back and i noticed they had valeted inside the engine bay most likely with a power washer / steam cleaner. could this Kna**er up the coil pack??
