recently my car has started to miss fire as i put my foot down. i find that accelerating slowly reduces the power loss but doesn't stop it!

cleaned the sparks but no change! so will replace these!

i once tried to rev it out. but my car answered with a loud backfire from the exhaust!!!

ANY IDEAS, AS IM BEING LEFT AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, LOOKING LIKE A FOOL BY BOY RACERS IN THEIR FORDS...
