update-
Well we found the black wire was infact broken under the sheath (insulation)- repaired it for now, runs as good as ever- Now looking for a new 59D4 electronic dizzy locally as l need this car 100% before l make the 500 mile run to Magog, Que-
Zip, must of had another senior moment ( read brain fart) , can't recall you mentioning that but entirely possible, just never did that for me-Looks like a new dizzy is around $144.00-

I have a three year old Lucas coil, is the flame thrower coil much of a real improvement over stock?

Al,
I mentioned the same symptoms when I drove it back from Bronte last year. Only did it a couple of times and picked right up again... Sounds like it got worse.

Tell me about it-
On Saturday at Mosport driving the track in my BRG mini 1380 Swiftune, my engine started breaking down (stalling out under load) @ 4000 rpm-Down shift to 3rd and it would restart-Got my A$$ off the track pdq-
Next day decided to make the 25 mile trip to Oshawa for a free lunch at the BMW/BINI dealer, yep same thing, so , l had to baby it there-Limped home with the same problem- Lots of experts at the Meet, l was so pi$$ed l would have bought a new petronix flame thrower coil but of course none available up there-Now it looks like it could be a "chaffed" wire in the dizzy-Will get a look at it and either try and repair it or buy a new petronix dizzy-
What a bummer

I've had that happen on accelerations or when pulling hills as well. I checked everything as well, but evenutally realized it was one fouled plug causing a misfire under pressure.

Possibly a bad coil. I had what I thought was a Lucas (gold coloured body) coil... turned out to be a Chinese knock off.. piece of crap.. Replaced with a Petronix Flame thower.. Happy.. Happy.

Replace the plug wires.

I have a '91 rover mini, 998 cc. I'm currently experiencing a misfire when I accelerate or going uphill. This does not typically occur in neutral. Below is everything I have checked
Cleaned carb, checked piston drop Checked fuel lines, all in good condition with no leaks Set valve clearances Replaced distributor cap and rotor Topped off dashpot oil
I do see some smoke on startup and plugs 3 and 4 were blackish when I gaped them.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
