General Car Chat / C1 (The skate) serious misfire.
« on: 12 March 2024, 13:21:18 »
I have had about half a gallon of petrol in a can in the boot of the C1 for about 6 months.
Sunday morning before leaving work I decided to tip it in the tank. There was aready approx. a couple of gallons already in the tank.
When I left work I didnt get more than a mile or so before it started misfiring and kangarooing. Nearly didnt make it home as it cut it a couple of times and was very reluctant to restart.
Not being a great believer in coincidence I assumed the half gallon must have gone off, so filled a couple of gallon cans with fresh petrol and put that in hoping it might then sort itself out.
It hasnt had any effect at all. Still very hard to start and runs as rough as a Badgers arse.
Have plugged my code reader in and got misfire cylinder three (it only has three).
Just because its a five minute job I swapped the stick coils between 1 and 3 but the code stayed at number three.
Only thing I can think of is a problem with number three injector ?
Any more intelligent thoughts more than welcome.
