The car has just started to misfire and hesitate on full boost on 2nd and 3rd gear and pops like mad on hard acceleration.... what are the causes of this? plugs? over fueling? or even cold weather got anything to do with it??

need help asap, thanks

Check the distributor cap and rotar arm.
Spray the leads and connections with WD40.
Check plugs;)

boost/misfiring issues are sometimes the simplest of faults and usually always electrical component related
when was the last time all the components in the post above where changed?

Idd say you have probably got your leads wet when washing your car.

Or maybe water went into the spark plugs.
I had this problem when i drove in some heavy rain,then i had to remove all the leads and blasted with compressed air.
The misfiring stopped after that.

Regarding the rotor arm,i would highly suggest to have a look...mine on close inspection showed a fine crack on the rotor arm [ on the plastic part].
I changed it and car runs fine now.
