Check for water in the spark plug well.
Bad design of the bonnet vent allows water to get into the spark plug well which builds up over time and causes a mis fire. Take the covers off and look, DONT remove the plugs to clean them until all the water/gunk is cleaned up out of the spark plug well On one of my ph1 chamades, had two inchs of water in the spark plug well and the thing would still fire up

i will check the spark plug wells. someone also told me it could be the rotor blade. i checked this and it looks a bit pitted at the end. when the car is idleing it gets worse and worse until it nearly stalls then runs fine for 30 seconds and does it again. its same when driving
