lol, he sounds a idiot then.  Of course its a misfire, why its happening is the key.


EML - Engine management light.  If its a 2.0/2.5/3,0 petrol, see maintenence guides for paperclip test

pull up a plug lead and check for oil in the plug well.  Then repeat for other 5.

Don't stress the leads too much, they can get fragile with age...
