Strange running 16v

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

sounds like what a 16v does with an ignition problem. when ignition levels
are borderline (due to bad wires/plugs/etc), the system draws more current
during spark at low rpm + high load, causing seemingly random missing.

...just something to keep in mind.
