Right an update, got te part  rung the garage, went with the part they said they don't think it's that as they took wires off tried ecu cylinder 3 still said misfire. So I asked them put the new part on he said he got put wires back on car then will do it and ring me.

Who reckons I'm gonna get fibbed off by these guys? Or who reckons they might be right?

What I thought he just made no sense to me I said to them put the wires back on and then put the new ignition amp on and call me. I have a very bad feeling they are going ring and say no that ain't worked

Then I'm just gonna say give me the car back

The problem is if they do that - it may have been the ignition amp at fault and they have now caused a fault on the ecu / wiring which wasn't there before - it would be a nightmare to fix as you dont know what they have done to it !  :angry:

They put it back together and said the ignition amp was at fault.

But have now tried a live feed from the ecu pos trigger and it is still misfiring now saying it's the ecu so basically they have f**ked the car on me by messing
