Hi Steve,

Is this vehicle only running on 3 cylinders or is it actually misfiring? Does the misfire occur across the whole rev range? Is it possible to scope the HT or ECU signal on cyl 1? I sometimes attach plug leads to the coilpacks and use a timing gun to verify misfires. Remember also the misfire could be due to the engine or injector on cyl 1. Compression check and exhaust emissions can also give you a pointer.

Regards

Pete M

Stephen.

"checked for air leaks fuel looks ok "

How did you test for air leaks ?

Fuel looks OK ! not sure what is meant to say.

Compression test, cylinder leakage, emission,s etc.

Misfire at idle or at all revs etc.

HStephen, do you know if teh coil is switch and spark firing? Im sure these had issues with the coil going down and taking driver in ecu as well.

hi seem to remember seeing something about a modified coil to deal with missfire and rough running might be worth checking AD

Have checked coil customer had put new coil on but we also changed coil over to see if we could move the misfire, have checked coil externaly for spark and switching all ok, now going to look on fuel side, cant see any wiring for the injectors at the mo.
