when the car is cold she runs great but when shes warm she starts missing until i pick up speed its mainly 1,2,3,4 gears now a light comes on the dash board once the car temp hits half way, mostly when you take your foot off the accelerator, i'm going to change the oil filter, petrol filter, air filter, spark plugs. has anyone had the same problem as this is doing my nut in.

Check the ignition leads and the engine coolant temp sensor which tells the ecu how much fuel is needed .

I have noticed there's some wiring at the back right of the engine bay that are not connected i think might be related to the wiring from the temp sensor, why would the disconnect the wiring? got the car about a week ago so finding new crap out lol
