Took the car out for a run tonight and on the way back it started misfiring badly. Initialy the car stalled at a set of lights but after cranking over for 3 or 4 seconds it fired up and away I went. From then on it would run along cutting out and misfiring all the time. If I put my foot hard down on the accelerator it would initially cut out and slow before coming back in and accelerating for a short time. Constantly like this all the way home until it failed completely as I pulled in the drive. Added fuel just in case but still no start so managed to get it in to the garage and will have a look at it tomorrow. In the meantime anybody got any pointers?. I have yet to check for anything but my first port of call will be to see if I have a spark and perhaps put a new coil on it to eliminate that completely.
The only clue I have at the moment is that the temperature gauge was working fine on the way out but at the same time as the misfire the gauge now doesn't register a reading.
Engine is a Fuel injected Rover V8.
