Hi, hope you're all well.
As the title suggests, my 2007 GP was driving fine at the weekend and I'd been on the dual carriageway and everything was great. I got to my destination, parked, and an hour later I went to drive off and the car stalled as I was driving at about 2mph. The car started fine and then cut out while at a standstill.
I filled the oil, just in case, gave it five mins and started it again and it cut out while in first gear again. It then sounded like it struggled to start, misfiring a bit.
No dash warning lights are showing.
A friend checked a (dry) spark plug while it started and said there was no spark being generated as it struggled to start, and then eventually did spark when it started. They suggested it could be the ignition coil pack or an issue with the earthing.
Before I went any further in taking it to a mechanic, I wondered if either or these sound like the likely culprit? Trying to save money if I can do the repair myself...
Thanks very much
