I have just had to replace my Lumenition since it was causing an intermittent
misfire.  I thought these units either worked or did'nt but that has been
shown to be untrue by my recent experience.  In addition changing the unit has
improved starting considerably and now I get a significantly different exhaust
note on overrun.   

Incidently the fault was traced directly to the unit itself ie not any of the
wiring connections.
