I finally fixed my misfire today, traced it down to high resistance on injector # 4. An hour or so with the dremel and it was out and the replacement fitted. Its misfired for ages, I even think it misfired in my old white car where the engine came from, so good to finally get it resolved! :thumbup:

 

Now the reason for the thread title... pulled up on the drive and heard a hissing/bubbling from behind the dash... heater matrix popped! Fix one fault and another appears :clown: oh well I never use the heaters anyway so bye bye for now may reinstate you one day. lol :tongue_smilie:

its summer who needs a heater anyway... lol

 

good that its fixed...

 

interesting been hunting a misfire on my zed for some time might have to check my injectors

do i get some rep :P lol

cheers ash... with the car running I disconnected each coil pack and listened for change in the engine note, cylinder # 4 produced no change, so that located the correct cylinder. swapped coil packs & spark plugs with cyl # 2, fault still on #4. tried another PTU but only because I had a spare there. Checked for spark and it was there, so that leaves fuel.... checked resistance with a multimeter across the two pins on each injector, all cylinders were around 0.12 ohms, but #4 stook out like a sore thumb at 0.36 ohms. Hope that helps you or anyone else lol :thumbup:

do i get some rep :P lol

 

Rep left :thumbup: cheers for the advice mate. Do I get rep for taking it? :lol:

why the hell not.

what setting did you have your multi meter on? come on, crap advice if you don't give your settings lol

 

oh and yeah i know what you mean, checking to see why my horn was playing up along with my aux fan, and found out i had a bulge in my front passenger side tyre on the inside edge, £40 and a part worn pirelli Pzero later, got a decent tyre.

ohms lol. resistance setting (resistance is the only thing measured in ohms) :thumbup1:

there I gave you rep, suppose you have helped me a bit. lol

 

do i get rep back then? wheres the pics of your free boost gauge? :slap:

Do I get rep for reading the thread and being a general nice bloke? :)
