Hi guys, new to the forum. Need some help with my 00 omega 2.5 v6 (x25xe). Had the water pipe at the rear of the engine rupture. Repaired it and drove a happy 600 miles over Xmas. Last tues I went for a spin to town and the car developed what I believe to be a misfire. Very jumpy under load or any type of acceleration, like it's on kangaroo fuel. If you nurse the car and be very gentle with it, she's grand. Come to any incline or when your starting off from lights revving up to 2000rpm, the car is shocking jumpy and there's serious vibrations when your stationary.
Called into local garage who put it on computer, no faults shown to explain it. Said it could be a number of things from leads, plugs, vac pipes. Then noticed one to front butterfly tore and we repaired it. I have since checked the timing of the car, it's spot on. Checked spark plug leads, they are all firing. Plugs down the pass side of the engine were covered in oil, typical rocker gasket failure. Over the weekend I repaired the gasket, cleaned the plug holes and replaced the spark plugs with new ones. Then cleaned the oil breathers in the plentium and rebuilt everything. Car still the same, lumpy and no better. Any suggestions?
