Three weeks later and I've still got the same problem.

Starts and runs fine for about 2 minutes and is great on the motorway but as soon as I stop at a junction the engine starts missing and when I try to pull away quickly, it loses all power and nearly stalls. Problem seems worse when engine is hot so I was thinking fuel injectors.

So far, I have replaced the Distributor Cap, Rotor Arm, Leads, had the spark timing checked by a garage and just yesterday, bought two new fuel injectors and tried them two at a time in the six cylinders. No change.

I've checked for obvious air leaks but can't find any. Have found that the Ignition Control Box has been changed at some point (don't know when or why).

Can anyone suggest what I should try next - do you think the ignition coil is a possibility even though everything works fine at higher speeds. I'm also thinking Fuel Distributor but that is a bit of a job.

It is really too dangerous to drive now and I am at my wits end - any help appreciated.

Thanks.
