Hi all,
I seem to be going round in circles at the moment! As mentioned in another post - 'sounds like running on 3 cylinders' - I was having problems with spluttering and misfiring after a service. Since then I have replaced the HT leads and the coil pack (as well as several other bits around the car).
On short journeys everything is perfect and the car is running spot on, but now that I'm back to work properly and on longer journeys, the car is back to misfiring and spluttering, most noticeable under acceleration. I plugged her into a little cheap handheld obd and it came up with cylinder 4 misfire! :|
Visually everything seems in order, but a friend has said that depending on the age, it could be the temperature sensor. My Puma is V reg,1999 I believe.
Can anybody shed some light on this or have any other suggestions?
Many thanks
Verity
