Possible missfire?

[Andreas187]

I would say fuel pump was on the way out, and now has totally gone.

Would never have thought of that. I didn't know those things fail in this day and age.

Quite a few gone on here, most all of a sudden, one or two showed rough running before they went.

Check the pencil coils, I have a couple spare if one of them is duff

Cool, how much do you want for them?

 

[Jambo6593]

I had the exact same problem about 6 moths ago on my 1.4 mk3. Replaced all the coil pack at a cost of £80 and the problem was solved.

 

[weebob]

Got the coils for £64 and the sparks for £30. Original Renault ones so hoping they come prepared gapped.

Getting the car back tonight.

They think they have got to the route of the problem. A sensor on the gearbox the reads the engine speed was misreading the speed, sometimes down to '0'. (?) Hope that makes sense as me and my sausage fingers aren't to technical.

Arnold Clark Blackpool have just changed this off there own back, not seaking payment due to the PITA it is trying to get co-op to authorise jobs to be done under warranty. Should of cost around £90 for the part +fitting so ill bung the service manager a bottle of plonk.

I shall report back

 

[deadmau5]

I wouldn't be handing anything over unless the problem is definitely solved!

 

[weebob]

Tdc was at fault.

The dealership even fixed a blown bulb for free.

Has unearthed a new problem, exhaust flexi is blowing, time for a new thread... A combo of this, the tdc sensor and coil packs = one very rough 197

Ffs! Are you going to try and get it welded or are you going to buy the Toyosports stainless steel one?

The MOT is due on Monday so just have to get it sorted, no time to think or dwell. Won't be perfect with a bodge but will be a damn site better than it is.
