I think one of your ignition coils or spark plugs are dead. That thing sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders.

Have you checked them all?

Not yet I done have a test so will have to pull them see if any are dud

Get your codes read on diagnostic machine

 

[pockets.jk]

Haven't got one and I dint know anyone with one :/

 

[ChrisBrand]

Im sure if you ask nicely one of the gentleman on this forum will help you with diagnostics

Could be vacuum leak, plugs, coils, fuel filter, etc.

As Chris said, diagnostics is ur best bet. If u in Jhb, PM Gizmo.

I was told to pull the oil filler cap off to check if it hard to pull off or has it got a small amount if suction well it's has a small amount so that's fine

I've noticed tapping it's while cold and first started

I pull threes Ht lead out 2 out of three weren't doing anything so gotta check coil and plug

It's blowing some were

If I rev around 15000 rpm to 25000 rpm it's okish just lack on power but that due to miss fire.

I live in the UK

I think the tapping noise is normal for that rev range
