Thanks for the replies, i think i'll try the pack and leads and will update. Cheers

Hi, I have had a problem for a while with my 172 missfiring. A couple of months ago my coil pack went and it was on 3 cylinders. I changed the coilpack along with NGK plugs. The car seemed to be okay again until i drove a few miles. Once the car heats up it missfires again!! This has been...

Whats it got to do with the coolant temp sender though?

Forgot to mention, the car only misses when the engine is hot. Is this another indication that it could be to do with the oil? Thanks:)

I took the guy's word for it as he seemed to know what he was talking about :( It was 5w-40. I have done some research and think i'll buy some of the Mutol or Silkolene from opie oils. Should this sort out my problems. I've been pulling my hair out over the miss which only happens in low...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice... A couple of months back i bought some cheap oil out a local shop. Sure it was about £10 for 5 litres, cant quite remember the name though. The guy in the shop told me there was no petrol engine oil left but the diesel type was...

Hi all, Hope someone can help... I have recently fitted a new coil pack to my 172. It was working great until i took it for a drive and when it had warmed up all of a sudden, the car was hesitating in the lower gears and sometimes in third and fourth. Its like it is missfiring. I have...

Hi, Just an update on this... The car runs fine until it heats up - then it startsto missfire!!! Could the plugs be breaking down when hot?? Cheers :D

I got a new coil from a local dealer for £41 so that was ok. I then put the old plugs back in to avoid the bosch ones then all the miss firing started again. I reckon i may need new NGK plugs as my ones have done 60k and i had them lying around the garage for a few days! Cheers

Did you manage to get this fixed again?? I'm having similar problems!

I managed to get a coil pack from a local dealer today for £41! Fitted it with the original NGK plugs and for the first five mins it was running perfect, no missfires and really smooth. I pulled into a side road to turn and while taking away infirst, it started to missfire quite badly, it was...
