#1: Random Misfire Author: Ozzy094, Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2014 10:57 am ---- Had this problem a few times now.
Was driving down a dual carriageway, then all of a sudden would get a loss of power (as if i were braking) and the engine warning light flashes, along with juddering etc.
Took it to the garage and had the coils and sparks replaced, but after a week (90 odd miles) its done it again.
Any idea as to what exactly may be the problem?
#2: Re: Random Misfire Author: Geforce, Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:38 am ---- I'm having a similar problem. I also changed coils. I'm gonna change map sensor next
#3: Re: Random Misfire Author: Ozzy094, Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:40 pm ---- I have a sneaky feeling it's injector related, so I may dive into fixing that, but please do keep me updated if the map sensor change does fix the problem for you!
#4: Re: Random Misfire Author: Geforce, Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 4:34 pm ---- Change of plan. Changing fuel filter instead then map sensor if no luck
#5: Re: Random Misfire Author: Ozzy094, Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:59 pm ---- Awesome, please keep me updated on the results!

The one below the squirter. Which, after research on here, seemed to be #common#.
#7: Re: Random Misfire Author: Ozzy094, Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2014 6:39 am ---- Awesome thanks for the info! I bought a Redex injector cleaner last week and it seems to have solved it for now, fingers crossed it doesn't do it again
