I spoke to someone who works at a ford garage today and he said theyve had the same problem once it turned out to be a valve spring.

So i guess its cam covers of time to have a look hohum what joys its a head of time.

hi there, just a few idea's.

 

Valve spring sounds like a red herring have you done compression test ?As chris suggested.Also check your wires for arching..And split in wires going to coil.

 

Try disconnecting your battery for 5 mins and let engine relearn the best setup.

 

Is your oil old tired and wrong type causing Sticky Valve now weather is changing

Should be 5w-30 .
