Engine issues

So a wee while ago I was getting bad issues with the car throwing random/multiple misfires at me. It turns out after trying coil packs, sparks and eventually a new lambda that it was the lambda throwing the fuelling completely out as it was giving out 0v flat under full throttle.

Now ever since i've sorted this issue the car still isn't running right. When i'm mid rev range and up to top end the power delivery is very lumpy and I am getting a horribly loud noise from the engine bay.

My question is during the time the car was running with a bad Lambda could the fuelling changed and is still not back to how it should be? It seems the cars short term fuel trim is constantly adjusting but the Long term never changes.

The car has got an akrapovic evo, induction kit and remap from k-tec

Cheers
 
That's pretty common it seems! Chances are it's the washer hose from your windscreen washer jets (Whatever they're called haha) They seem to leak water and it usually corodes the plug/coil and fills it with water too.

I think a bit of sealant around the hose usually prevents them.
