b!tch is misfiring.

My 8v gti is misfiring. It was fine but i have been having starting issues in mornings but does eventually start only in cold. So i took my battery off to clean the earth points under battery. Anyway i turned ignition on for 30 secs then back off then stated car. Now car misfires on low revs. I will check spark plugs and leads. Anything else to check?

first port of call I woul say is check plugs, then leads, then dizzy contact points and arm, the king lead and coil. if issues is still there then go down the lines of checking fuel, I recon its coil or dizzy

scan on vag com?

Sparkies are just a year old. Took each lead off and the engine did stuggle. Took maf off while started but as soon as i reconnected it the engine cut out.

Not yet as its raining and laptops battery is poo so need extension. It revs fine after 2k all the way into the redline. It feels like a 1ltr when in low revs and i put my foot down its like missfiring. Sounds like its not running on all cylinders

Spray wd40 over coil and dizzy, sounds like moisture.

It was fine untill i took the battery off to clean the earthing points, now it sounds like a subaru no joke!!

when you say sparkies are just over a year old, what do you mean? if you mean plugs replace em, I do mine every 10k, moisture is a high bet but weird it only started after the batter was removed

[sharki786]

Nowere near 10k prob 3k if that. Its not driven everyday. Im going to take the spark plugs out today

New update. Just drove back from work and the car pings/pinks even down hill. Its struggling to move but when revs are 2k you cant tell its missfiring
