Vendee Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The misfire could be plugs, HT leads or coil pack. The white smoke could be unburnt fuel due to the misfire. If the smoke is light blue rather than white, you may have a piston ring failure (these engines do suffer from them) which might explain the lack of oil. Is the oil level still good after you filled it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFocus0126 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 oil doesn't seem to go down at all mate the plugs is a maybe because the ant in the correct ladled position because the number 1 cable doesn't fit Spark plug a carboned if this means anything and the rev go up and down slightly thx This pic below is the coil what do you think am I right saying bottom right is number 1 then top right 3 and so on because the cable doesn't reach to number 1 iv also got the pic of order of the coil leads in now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendee Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Plug order in second photo looks ok to me. I would start with new plugs leads and coil pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendee Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Correct oil is 5w-30 grade. Incorrect oil very unlikely to give that smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
