Symptoms:
First time it happened, I noticed losing power at medium to higher revs. Pulled over. Called RAC. Played in park for an hour or so. Came back, fiddled with spark leads, it worked. Don't know if the fiddling had anything to do with it.
Second time: lost power, misfiring, bang pops from exhaust pipe. Pull over, check leads. No help. Remove fuel filter, check fuel pump is OK, shake filter a bit, replace it, engine fine for another couple of miles. Stop at @BRMs. Wag Chins. Pull away, same issue, loss of power, running very lumpy and shit. Limp home.
Today: Go to garage, replace fuel filter. Slightly difficult to start but I put that down to pulling fuel through the lines. Pull onto the road, seems OK. Accelerate away from junction, no power at 2.5k rpm. Lumpy, bumpy engine whenever revving. Take back to my garage, retreat.
Any guesses?
