Got a missfire on one cylinder changed plugs and missfire disappeared till engine was hot then came back i have changed leads around but still one cylinder is missing,could it be the coilpack ? Can they be tested ?

 

doubtful coilpack kev but i have a spare if you want to check

 

M8's coming over with one tomorrow cheers col,can't understand why it was ok when cold then fubar when warm ?

 

my mates is the same,investigating it shortly,new plugs aswell

 

but hes not on coilpack

 

Keep me posted please col.

 

if it was coilpack sure it would have taken a pair down?
i know the plugs are new but i get grief with mine sometimes and 1 of the plugs gets dirty and then doesnt fire, then it just gets more and more dirty and wont work at all,
take it out give it a clean then its fine.

but my car needs setting up, i think it over fuels at idle, killing the plugs

 

up

 

What plugs you using now Kev ?

Steve

 

Odd as it sounds, yes it can be the coilpack, I've had two, admittedly second hand ford ones do it on my cossie, put on another s/h one ok to start with then a few days alter same again.
Put on a brand new ACCEL coilpack, direct replacement been fine for 6 months now, but I suspect a NEW ford one would have been ok as well.
tabetha

 

My Dad had the same prob with his Ecos once, we eventually traced it to an injector clip that had worked loose and when the engine was hot it was causing the injector to lift very slightly

 

Was using ik31's steve ive bought a set of 071's and a set of ik27's to try.

Will find out today if it's a coilpack,hope it is.
Something else to try,it's the fact it's ok till ther engine is hot that gets me .

 

You had any luck Kev ????

Steve

 

Yeah all bad steve , head gasket is cunted,wil be back up and running this time next week though.

 

Shit news kev but at least you have found the prob

 

Just gonnae fire a new gasket,bolts,cambelt and tensioner on the now carlo,rebuild comes over the winter time.

 

Quite right mate have you ever done the head gasket before?

 

Nope hence why ma m8's are gonnae do it for me.

 

Sorry mate i meant have you ever had it replaced on your car before?

 

Doh sorry,not that i know off.

 

fit a cometic kev

everyone says skimmed head,decked block............

mine has been spot on

 

Not so bad then kev

 

Aye getting it done next sunday should be out in it on sunday night.

 

Sorry to hear it today kev you'll be back in no time tho

 

Aye it's been an expensive few months lol,hope you get good news this wek m8.

 

When i had my Escos i had the same problem. The car would run nicely when cold but as soon as it heated up and giving it throttle it misfired. It turned out it was my Coilpack.

 

I'm sure we will mate, there's simply no denying it is there

 

I wasn't that lucky m8.

 

Hell no !!!

 

Did you do a propper sniffer test on the cossie in the end mate?

 

Didn't need to there was a swimming pool on top of the piston lol.

 

Was that water or oil?

 

Dont worry shed motorsport will get you going again

cheeRS stu

 

Water m8.

 

Yup there better than a quick fit fitter lol.

 

Crap news Kev

At least you have found the problem

Steve

 

Yeah could have been much worse i suppose.

 

It ends up a rollercoaster ride Kev .................id say you have been lucky so far

 

Bummer about the gasket. Hopefully a straightforward swap out
