Fiesta zetec 1.4 misfiring when cold and refusing to idle
Hi, im new to this forum so hi \o
Right onto my problems, just purchased a 2003 1.4 fiesta zetec se, from what i can tell i have 2 problems, first is a misfire that is definetly worse when cold, once its warmed anything over 2k revs the misfire disappears and revs up perfect with no holding back, then when i try to let it idle it will try to settle then switch back to firing on just 2 and 3 which brings me onto my second problem, the car refuses to idle properly although i did spray some carb cleaner into the throttle air intake and it idled perfect until i took it for a drive and turned off the engine........
ive changed coil pack, ht leads, fuel filter, spark plugs, where do i go next?
All help greatly received
p.s. obd reader codes giving p0351 p0300 which is something to do with coil A secondry circuit and random misfire.

hi, how can there be no power to the coil if its running and drivable, if i take the revs over 2k the car performs how it should and runs on all 4 cylinders, its only when it tries to idle it switches back to running on cylinders 2 and 3 , ive read about wiring being damaged back from the coil plug but ive checked back as far as i can and cannot see no signs of damage, im thinking would the maf sensor need replacing as when i sprayed the carb cleaner in the intake next to it it ran perfect even at idle.
