Hi guys.
I desperately need some advice with my car.
The car has a misfire on one or multiple cylinders. Problem is, I can't pinpoint the exact problem.
My first thought was the injectors, which seem to be fine, secondly I thought it might be the coils which I tested today and all four of them have a reading of about 7.6k Ohms. While inspecting the coils I noticed that some of them have cracked boot plugs and one totally tore off. After doing some research I found that it may cause a misfire as it sparks against the cylinder head. Long story short, I phoned every store I could think of and nobody sells those rubber boots.
Renault only sells new coils which come with them, but seen that my coils are fine I'm not going to pay that for rubber boots.
I made a redneck plan and used electrical tape to tape those boots so if they crack or break they won't spark against cylinder head.
I started the car which feels a bit better, not sure if its my imagination but it still has a misfire on one or multiple cylinders.
Plug out a coil while idling and I definitely see a huge difference as the car definitely misfires.
If it could be coil wires, would they still supply enough voltage for the car to idle at enough for just a small misfire?
Could it be anything else?
Now and then the engine light flashes and then goes off.
I don't know where to look anymore.
Someone even told me it could be a faulty catalytic converter, which I can't confirm because my knowledge is not sufficient enough.
If anyone has any advice I would highly appreciate it!
