So so so , my Mrs car is giving me a bit of a headache. She had her EML appear on and called the AA. They diagnosed a misfire on cyclinder 4 and replaced the coil pack. It solved the problem for one day and the juddering/ spluttering to find power reappeared. Ive changed the speedo sensor, the idle control valve, exhaust manifold and flexi pipe, catalytic converter aswell. The spark plugs, HT leads, fuel filter, air filter and oil was all replaced about 6 months ago. She did have a split in her breather pipe from the crankshaft which was also replaced. And now im stuck. Any one got any other ideas at all would be greatly appreciated as im only 24 and im starting to go grey.

Many thanks

Matthew

    I think I will get some replacement sparks and leads to see if that helps at all. If it was misfiring, it might of cleared some !Removed! into the sparks :-)
