not happy!!!!
« on: 16 December 2010, 17:34 »
still struggleing with this misfire :cry:

scanned car with code reader, no faults which according to past experience on this forum leads to maf or ignition amplifier. so i un plugg the maf and take down the road, down on power obviously but misfire goes away. so i replace the maf with a genuine item, car ran fine when first set off not even a splutter(engine cold),but as the temp began to rise i got a splutter and then it was back to misfiring again, still showing no fault codes . any ideas??? 99 agu by the way
