the plugs were changed a few months ago, but stupidly didn't change the coil packs so assumed it was that, yes it was P0302.

If you can clean the end of the coil pack and check the resin coating for any cracks, it is likely they will need changing.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I’ve got a missfire on cylinder 2 according to my fault reader , I’ve change all the coils thinking it was that but it’s still sounding rough but only when it warms up, the engine light is flashing and exhaust had a split in which I used gun gum until I can afford a new one (sounds a bit blowing) so not sure if an exhaust issue.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all I’ve got a missfire on cylinder 2 according to my fault reader , I’ve change all the coils thinking it was that but it’s still sounding rough but only when it warms up, the engine light is flashing and exhaust had a split in which I used gun gum until I can afford a new one (sounds a bit blowing) so not sure if an exhaust issue. The other thing i am yet to try is to clean the MAF. Any ideas on what else it could be??? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I don't think the exhaust would throw up a misfire code - it would be an emissions-related code. Similarly for the MAF - it would be an emissions code, and not restricted to one cylinder. Was it P0302? Any other codes? Did you change the plugs? It could be an injector, but that is very, very rare, compared to coil packs.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the plugs were changed a few months ago, but stupidly didn't change the coil packs so assumed it was that, yes it was P0302. Not sure about any other codes but im going to clean the Maf tomorrow and run it so if its still an issue i will get the code again.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

update... i've cleaned the Maf and put in some injector cleaner, i gave it a run out for about 30 mins and its seems to have sorted the missfire it drove like a dream, i hope this is now sorted but will see what happens over the next few weeks. Thanks for your help
