Mis-fire every now and then

Hi all. I have what seems to be a mis fire every now and then,its not at regular intervals. Anyone any idea as to what is up. Thanks. Daz

Probably your distributor, rotor and leads are in need or replacement?

Agree with ShadeTek, but after reading thread about injector cleaning it might be worth getting them cleaned.

Cheers guys

I had similar problem with my T5. It would suddenly miss a beat then continue fine for some time. Turned out to be the coil breaking down. Fitted new one and no trouble since.

Misfires are usually a result of an issue with the fuel intake system or the ignition. A mentioned, check the distributor/rotor arm and leads. HT Leads can be tested by a leads testing kit or at a diagnostic auto centre with the correct equipment. If you have coil packs, they can be tested with multimeters in general.

I've had a bit of a splutter on mine for a couple o weeks now, it's been caused by the head gasket leaking a bit of water into one of the cylinder and meant that the plug was a bit damp until the engine warmed up and dried the moisture out.
