arghhhhhhhhhhh
Lumpy idle returned this morning big time!
Dash came up with the 'catalytic converter fault' - engine light came on - fault reader came up with P0300 Random multiple cylinder misfire detected - few minutes car warmed up and drove fine - still with the engine light on. Started the car after 30 minutes or so and now the dashboard comes up with 'Antipollution fault' - still with the reader giveing me the same P0300 multiple missfire code
What the bloody hells going on - I know its a French car but what !?!?!?!?!?!
I put a new coil pack in it yesterday as well as 4 new Bosch plugs - took it home drove perfectly and gaveit a wash
Any ideas?

Its injection so no
Have you checked the compression? Have you checked the injectors?

hmmmm
Starts and runs fine but still a lumpy shakey idle at cold start up - once at 70c + it runs sweet and runs very nicely - mpg is good and getting better 24 - 25 mpg in really bad traffic in SW London so its not the lambdas (didnt show any fault on them anyway)
Slightly fed up with my French car now - shame as it really goes well otherwise

What are the resistance readings across the injectors?
Are the plugs tight? What are the compression readings?
What are the MAP readings on idle?
