Default Help...Cossie Misfire

Put it up in the technical part, but to no joy

Totally standard cossie, & it's misfiring to fooook

Its soaking number 1 & 3 plugs, ive changed the leads/plugs & the injectors around incase it was the injectors weeping, but it still doing it.

Could it be map sensor or cooling temp sensor

Any advise would be appricated as im hitting a brick wall now

Cheers

Does sound like a sensor causing over fuelling! Which one is hard to tell.

Paul, i checked the wiring for 3 months on the escos including an Auto sparky twice and could not be traced. I stumble upon it being fooked, was no clear evidence!!!!! Way i found out was i wired the MAP direct from the ecu.

Prob worth tryin a map first tho!

You need a wiring diag( lost mine) of the ecu. You find out which wires go to the map. One is live feed, one is earth and the other sends the info to ECU. So i got a new 3 pin conector, wired it direct to the ecu/live/earth and ehy presto fired up and ran sweet.

This told me there was something wrong with the wiring to the map. Tested the wiring with a multimeter and it was all ok, so this told me it was the 3 pin conector! Soldered the new one on and was fine then till i sold it!
