Glad to help

 

it playing up again but the crank sensor ant working so would that course the mis fire?

 

The crank sensor is fundamental to the ECU so yes it would cause the misfire.

 

ordered and should fit it tommorrow

 

ITS STILL PLAYING UP HELP NEW CRANK SENSOR FITTED(REV COUNTER WORK)
BUT SEC MONITOR DOE NOT READ ANY REVS
HELP

 

my three door cossie had similiar problems, ford garage told me there was dampness in the dizzy and so loose wires in the engine compartment, if that helps

 

Have you gapped the crank (0.6-1.0mm) and phase sensor (02.-0.3mm)? Plug type and gap?

Could you describe how the misfire is now?

 

when warm it happens and its a backfire
sorry i am confussed

 

A backfire

If you are not sure what I mean then you need to get it checked out by a pro who can check all the sensors for you.
Are there any decent tuners in your area?
