A month after having a severe misfire in very wet weather which was diagnosed as 'occasional misfire in cylinder number 3' by the PST2 at local OPC, my 97 C2 Cab runs and accelerates fine but will occasionally miss a beat when cruising and sometimes develops a roughness on tickover felt as a vibration through the seat when sitting at lights. The tacho needle wavers very slightly. Could this all be due to the ignition coils breaking down or is there something more sinister brewing? The car had a service 500 miles ago.

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.
