e30 coil

[james318i]

hey all

still having problems with my e30 (318i M40)

seems ok for a while , throttle response isnt brilliant from cold but idles ok , if it gets hot though it sometimes starts to hunt and cuts out at junctions , always restarts - also makes the interiour clock go funny and the mpg gauge swings around randomly

almost wonder if the coils breaking down , but would it cause the interior to go mad ? seems a long shot

checked the earth strap and it seems good , running out of ideas

High voltages going where they shouldn't could conceiviably upset electronic bits on the car, although it's not something I've come across.

checked the voltage to them before they mess about and during but all seems good , im at a loss with this one , pain as its been stored for ages and i cannot fault the rest of it
