misfire under light load

[200q 20v]

Got some more information on the subject. Driving with radio on clearly
heard electrical discharge noise matching misfire.

Wires are over 6 or more years old, made by BREMI. Called several
supplies none have BREMI available, many offer BOSCH BS09268 but this
set will fit only 7A since wires are too short for 3B.

Has anyone purchased a wire set recently?

Regards,
Eugene.
