Missfire ( firing on 3-4 Cyl )

Jan 16th, 2005, 17:40

Appart from other ongoing problems, my 850 T5 picked up a missfire last Monday.

It seems to be struggeling to run on all cylinders, it's not generaly bad at idle but on power you realy notice it.

The only fault code present on teh ECU is a 4-1-4 Overboost from when my boost hose ruptured.

The Sparklers, Cap and Arm were replaced only 1200M ago and this has been a sudden rather than gradual problem.

I do live in the ratehr soggy town of Carlisle and initialy thought the recent dreadful weather may have seeped into the Dizzy cap, but the problem still persists after a week of dryer weather and having the engien up to temperature 2 or 3 times.

The only thing I can think of is that the fule I put in last saturday after the ~9" of rainfall may have been contaminated with rainwater and is causing the bad running.

Anyone else experience similar issues ???
