had an ongoing problem with my car, tried changing ht leads and plugs, but and please note this is on and off, after around 3-4k the car seems hesitant to pull, and you can feel it pulling and dying on and off as you accelerate, also car smells of petrol when pulled up to a standstill, ne ideas? iv just whacked a large amount of injector and fuel system cleaner thru so il see if that does the job!

also there are no signs of head gasket gone, ie no white in the oil and no black in the water, car doesnt really cough out much smoke except when cold

You need to remove the engine and put it back in the wrong way round.

My indicators are not working at present, I think the relay has moved when I removed the dash.
