My Cooper has started to "miss" and studder upon normal acceleration.

What is your question?

The "miss/studder" seems to happen in all gears. If I "floor" the accelerator, the missing/studder will immediately go away. Any ideas what the trouble is? Bad gas?...or something more serious?

is it s model?

No, it's just a regular "Cooper" model. Last night, I did remove the spark plug wires from the coil and cleaned the coil terminals (lots of "rust" on them)...and that seemed to help IMMENSELY!!! Going to try cleaning them again tonight and coat with di-electric grease to help ward off any further corrosion. Do you have any additional ideas?
