Slight Misfire.
« on: 03 August 2012, 21:38 »
After having a vagcom connected to my car i am getting the following readings.

P0300 Random misfire Detected - Any Cylinder

P0303 Cylinder #3 - Misfire Detected

I have changed my Plugs and leads and the above fault codes have came back after being erased. Now the misfire is very very slight, i mean you can just make it out on idle and there is a slight and i mean slight wobble on idle also. Now my question is should i change my coil pack or because the misfire is so slight do you think it might be an injector issue?

i had slight miss on my aum on tickover i mean a little pulse i changed my plugs to the bosch super 4's  ngks in it didnt look that new and job was a good one, i thought start with cheap fix first so glad it wasnt a coil pack and car starts better aswell its on the button. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Yes the 2 slows arent the quickest of the mark i agree but believe me they are a good solid engine and very reliable...... Usually!  lol
