Intermittent Misfire



  04BGFF182CLIORS
I thought I would start a new thread as my last one was getting confusing!

My car started cutting out in traffic last week, and over the course of a couple of days this developed into a full misfire.

It has only given me a warning light once, P0301 misfire on C1 - this was cleared and I havnt had any other codes since.


I first cleaned the TDC sensor - it then ran spot on for about 10 minutes before cutting out again and the misfire returned.

Today I have replaced the leads and plugs - again, misfire gone for a good 20 minutes, thought I was in the clear.

Left it for 30 minutes while I had a drink, came back out to take it for a test drive and it started back on 3 again :dapprove:


Listened to it running on 3 for a few minutes, disconnected various injectors and they all behaved the same...

It then perk back onto 4 and was running fine for 5 minutes...


Have a feeling it will have to go to the garage tomorrow if I can solve it!


​Thanks in advance

Update:

Tried a fuel rail of another car tonight - still the same.That rules out injectors.

Looking like its somehow under fueling so wondering I have a blocked line/filter somehow...

Coil pack seems ok, strong spark going to each lead.

All signs seem to point to some sort of fueling issue :S

It will be getting replaced today.

Swapped it with one from a running 172 (and visa versa) - mine ran spot on, the 172 ran like mine.

Atleast it has new plugs and leads now!
