when its dark open the bonnet and fire up the engine,, if you see blue sparks at back of engine, check yur lead connections to the coil pack,, simple job, just a pain to get at

check your rubber pipes too,especially on the air intake,inlet manifold may have a leak,it could be a simple fix,or a bit of a mare.
