after having a new set of spark plugs fitted and two bottles of injector cleaner later i think its time to take my 1.6 litre automatic laser to a shop, so my question is who to take it to. phoned my local ford dealer whose vague answers didnt instill a great deal of confidence. it is extremely rough idleing at the lights, rough on take off, once mobile it is very good till it hits exactly 80 kph then the missfire begins again and doesnt let up till it gets to 88kph or i downshift to a lower gear. the rough idle at the lights can be avoided by putting it in park or neutral...Ipswich or Brisbane..any suggestions where to take it..thanks...

Pretty hard to get the plug lead order out of whack on the Laser, you've probably fractured a plug lead when changing the spark plugs - they get a brittle when old.

Do not take it to Ford
What makes you think it is fuel related? When was the last time it has a full service?

It sounds electrical. Which is surprising being it has only done 50k.
