Really pissed of with my cars in general at the moment, my 3 dr has no head on it and is sitting gathering dust in the garage and my series 2 that i use most days has just developed a really bad misfire. Its on cossie management and i have checked all electrics, leads, sparkplugs, injectors, ecu etc. Any one got any ideas as to what may be causing it? Could it be something in the head?

 

could it be the cam ,i think a worne lobe would cause this,just a thaught...

 

yeah maybe mate, strange thing is i was just goin along the motorway at bout 70 off boost and it sudddenly started!
some one suggested a sticky follower in the head? would that make sense?

 

nobody got any ideas????

 

i was doing the same about 80 then went on boost then came the misfire i changed everything leads,plugs,dizzy cap,coil anyway ended up being a burnt exhaust valve had a chunk missing not saying that its the same problem as you but

 

do a compression test, then you will know if its cylinder or head damage
