Hello,
I've been plagued by a very intermittent misfire for a while now.
On first inspection cylinder 3 plug was very coked so replaced all the plugs and a new coil on cylinder 3. Not long after it seemed to return so the rest of coils were replaced..problem persisted. A new set of plugs after this seemed to show a dodgy plug in the set as the car ran fine after for probably 2 weeks.
Now I feel back to square one as the intermittency makes it very difficult to plot or show a pattern of when it happens. Inspected the plugs this week and they were fine, no excess coking or signs of anything untoward.
No lights on dash or faults showing on diagnostics. Car idles fine, holds boost and never misses on WOT.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
