Went out a run in my Tamora and unfortunately let it run pretty low on fuel by the time i got home. Parked it up and returned to it a week later and started it and it was misfiring and cutting out. Thinking it had maybe sucked up some dirt from the bottom of the tank i changed the fuel filter and put more fuel in it but it's not much better. Checked the plugs - all light coloured with no obvious fouling. (it was running perfectly when i parked it up).
I'm now thinking dirt has made it into the injectors. Has anyone had a similar issue? Is it possible to clean the injectors or is it a TVR specialist job?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Davie

Sounds electrical to me, check all the relays are tight, I had a similar problem with my T350 missing and cutting out,turns out it was the OBD connector corroded

Thanks for that.
Italian tune up? I take it that is the equivelant of a British 'damb good thrashing'?! Tried it, didn't make any difference.

I checked all the fuses and relays i could think of to no avail but i'm not sure what the 'OBD' is, can you enlighten me?

I was thinking it may be that the coil pack has started to act up but that was replaced 3 1/2 years ago when the engine was rebuilt. Anyone in the Glasgow area got a good spare I could try?

Thanks again
