this morning I started my 325 and it had a miss fire but cleared after reving it up for about 20 seconds but then it just cut out from 2k revs,
It wouldn't restart so I let it sit for a half hour and it started with the same miss fire and it did the same thing, so I let it sit again and the next time I just let it idle but it cut out after 10 second and now it won't start it just turns over.

Have you checked fuel, is the fuel pump running? I.e. have you checked the fuel pump fuse and relay and fuel level?

Coil pack is a possibility


What has been happening before hand for this to be the end result?

I checked the fuse, I couldn't find which relay it is in the manual.

It started fine this afternoon, I will have to see if it starts in the morning when its cold and damp.

It did it again this morning at 7.30, it idled for 10 seconds then cut out and wouldn't fire up it just turns over.
I came home at lunch and it started fine.
