Hi There
I own a 1991 16 valve which decided this morning to go down (I think) to 3 cylinders- sounds like a tractor, no power etc etc....
The HT leads are pretty much brand new, all the connections seem fine, and are not wet.
Having not had the car that long, and not that familiar with the Mi16 engine I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions.
16 valve running on 3 cylinders.

See this thread which deals with exactly your symptoms.

Turned out to be the ignition module in this case.

Yeah I'm in Winchester for the next week, then I'm moving to Stubbington. You're welcome to pop over and try bits from one of my cars to see which bit cures the problem. Could be the module, but I've never had one go.
I have had the dizzy cap/rotor arm need changing before though. But if its a constant misfire, it could be the coil isn't kicking enough enough juice?
