The wife came home in the jimny tonight and it has lost power and is almost stalling..I've checked water and oil every thing seems normal.No lights on in the dash . No Emil lights either.. So any ideas would be very helpful. As we want to try and keep the car in the family..

Thanks wombat
I will check these tomorrow. Hopefully get the old girl going again. She's at 146,000 now. So maybe these bits need changing..

If i remember correctly there are 2 coil packs, each supplying 2 cyliders, which would tie in with your problem

Just noticed I have BKR6E 11 plugs fitted..are they the ones..as this could cause problems. But it's been ok and I think they have been fitted for about a year..

I probably would have checked the existing ones prior to spending cash...you only have(looking at the coil pack) +12V -12V +5V

Thanks Keith's.
Started the car this morning and it's ok until it's hot. Then goes on to two cyls. I have removed the coil packs and can't see anything evident . But as they have done 146,000 I think it's more than likely the cause.

Check the crank sensor...pour cold water on it while it's misfiring
