engine missfire
« on: 18 May 2009, 17:48:36 »
Hi its been a long time!!!!!

For the past 2-3 weeks now I've noticed a slight missfire/hesitation at 30-50 mph,it does'nt do it all the time & when it does it seems to correct itself & drive fine that day, :-/theres no engine light coming on or flashing.
It started when I filled up at my local Total petrol station, thinking if the fuel was contaminated but there was no complaints.
I've got to get to the bottom of this cos Im going to Cornwall  for my holls in 2 weeks

Any help would be great  :)
