IS this normal? (Engine misfire Q?)
« on: 17 July 2010, 18:57 »
I have noticed that the past week and a half i seem to have a slight miss on the engine for a short time after its first started. Im not sure it it lasts longer i must check but for the past 5 days this has been happenning.

Basically after you have started the car first thing in the morning or after leaving work at the end of the day.
You drive off in first then select 2nd and you can feel a very very slight engine miss as its accelerates.

A bit like if you were on a very slight ruff road.

Its very minor so im wondering if this is normal.

Sorry for the delayed response.
Tried in the morning to check this.
Went out for a drive now and just returned. Tried to replicate your problem. Don't think it happens to me. Will try again tomorrow and will give you a definitive answer. :smiley:

Never noticed anything like that, sounds like a problem of some sort.

Snoops: Did this only start happening when you filled the car with a new tank of Shell fuel?

I first noticed it right near the end of the last tank that was V-power too from the same filling station and pump. :sad:

Hmm ... strange. Muck in the injectors?
Change the filling station, change the fuel? ....
Been for another run. Can now categorically say I cannot replicate your problem.

Thanks, I will see what its like this week. I gave it a bit of a blast on the way home yesterday so i hope its cleared anything. It could simply be damp i guess or just something right near the startup.
Its hard to tell its so light in the miss sometimes its hard to tell if its a miss or road surface. :grin:
Just the road out of work is fresh smooth as a .... tarmac so i know its a miss there, but the rest of the way the rest of the roads on the way home and round here are rough as so its not easy to tell. :undecided:

Not had this recently but get it occasionally, usually clears by the end of my road. I know what you mean, it's the first time you put it into second gear and its as if the revs are slightly too low and it hesitates. Has happened around 5 or so times since I got the car a year ago
