Probably a bad earth somehwere, or a loose connector going to the dizzy - the plug does get worn and loose after a while. If you bend the prongs very slightly in it you can get a good connection once more - or replace the plug.

we both have performance probs too  maybe we should remove each other dizzie packs and wank over them, then replace them
