im running a single coil pack and the spark isnt great ,when the cars cold it starts fine but once warm and i go to restart very hard to get it to fire up ive removed plugs and tested spark when hot and its very small or nothing atall its a second coil and a new set of plugs weak ground as my battery is in the boot with a cable grounded to the chassis any help much appreciated

Sprocket

should be easier to start a hot engine. Are you sure its spark and not poor crank enrichment settings when warm?

Have you checked the spark with one of these?

Could it be that the coil is old and buggered?
