Default Puma 1.7 Problem
Hi Guys,

My 1.7 has a missfire at idle but drives okay otherwise?
Possible problems?

Should have a video up tomorrow


Thanks

Just started it for the first time in a while there, and it's not as bad as I thought.

I'll put up the video in a min.... It clears after 3k revs.

what about the coil pack? take the one from your other engine and swap it over.

Have you got a maf to try? I know you've cleaned it, but got to be worth a switch if donor is available. They are very common to fail. On the hot-wire.

I'd guess the Idle Control Valve.



It fits diamond kinda shape where those two little holes are on the inlet.

Have swapped in another MAF.
Have swapped in another Idle Control Valve.

Will just try leads and plugs (I think I already tried it, but sure what harm)

Thanks for the help guys.
