What's strange is that it runs perfectly fine when cold, but v rough and misfires when hot

I'll run the checks you suggested




Symptomatic of that which @Carolyn suggests!

As is the way here.

Always start at the simple (cheap) end of the wedge.

Air filter?
Maf clean
Plugs?

You get the jist

Get an OBD dongle and Torque Pro and see what gives in terms of codes and sensors.
.
I'd also be pulling spark plugs for inspection and (I'm afraid) I'd run a compression test for possible head gasket issues.

Hi everyone- desperate need of help-

Mr2 2zz swap- recent purchase!

Has been misfiring, losing power intermittently for 24 hours. I noticed the coolant was low, so topped up and bled it- now there is an engine light on and very rough idle + misfires. Coil packs are dry/ engine appears to be heating up. Then I noticed when the car was warming up (?? On closed loop) started misfiring badly. Noticed a radiator leak/ pipe leak.

Could this cause the symptoms? Possibly an  airlock?

Help! I'm hoping it's not worse than that?!
How would people suggest trouble shooting this?

Thank you 🙏

TF084 reporting in. Just had new headlights and a new tail light, looking very fresh.

So a sad day again as the photo hosting site no longer works (unless you use a VPN set to outside the UK).

I thought I ought to upload a few photos just in case people wanted to see what the thread was about.
