[Mk2] [Turbo] For some reason it appears to be losing power and hesitating sometimes, seems fa

For some reason it appears to be losing power and hesitating sometimes, seems familiar and I think its ignition related, you agree? So was gonna do plugs first, then probably leads since easiest to change, then rotar arms, dizzy cap, sound good?

I cant remember what spark plugs are best for stock tubbys? Been a while, is it the cold grade ones? But since I am running standard boost just normal ones would be fine?

Cheers. :thumleft:

Also check the coil, they rust and split then water gets in and you have a misfire
