isnt that pedal trick only relevant to a automatic as trying taht in a manual will stall it.

You do both pedals when stationary and handbrake on....

..... and engine OFF - saves it getting revved to destruction.....

1,3,5 is drivers side. (well, you never know)

[edmsecurity]

I have listed the fault codes which are as follows:

P0300 Random/multiple cylinder misfire detected

P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
 
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
 
P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected


No other faults are shown.

So you have fitted a new coil pack to the 1-3-5 bank (drivers side?)

[edmsecurity]

I have tried a new coil pack and still the same.

If I drive the car stone cold it seems to drive fine for quarter of mile and then goes all lumpey as if it has got warmed up and then the warning light comes on flashing and then goes solid and then the car goes into limp mode.

Mr Clutch have taken it back today for one of there autoelectricians to have a look as they spent two days earlier this week and got know where.

[edmsecurity]

I have just picked my car back up which Mr Clutch has had all afternoon and claim there Auto-Electrician claims it must be the ecu.

They say sometimes when you disconnect the car battery ecu can forget all or some of there settings. i dont beleive that.

What is the Module that the engine wiring loom plugs into under the bonnet next to the car battery where a load of relays and fuses are.

Is there a way to check there theory.

I would of thought if the ecu was bad you would get some major messages

[cem_devecioglu]

ok..talked to a mechanic friend..

he said briefly :

* if the engine become worse after warm up either lambda sensor or ECU

* if it becomes better after warm up its definitely cam belt timing

Ok, could you directly answer 2 questions.
1. Can you confirm it is the drivers side coil pac that has been changed?
2. Can you confirm the codes listed via the pedal trick only please?

Code readers can be fussy about what info they give out in my experience. The pedal trick is more direct. Only tech2 is more accurate for the engine ecu imho.

1. I have changed the drivers side coil and no change.

2. Yes i have done the pedal test which has the same results as my     software.

Ok, can you check the wires connected to the coil pak for damage....particularly the black wire.

The black wire should also have 12V to it with the engine running/ignition on

[edmsecurity]

Hi Mark

I have checked the Brown wire which i have found to be Ground

I have checked the Black Wire which has permanent feed.

and the wires seem ok.

Did you have a mass flywheel fitted too? I'm thinking not for that price. anyway if you did, when they removed bolts from mass flywheel they might have turned engine backwards therefore could have jumped one or two teeth on timing? tensioner cam belt pulley becomes slack when crank is turned wrong way, might be worth checking timing before a nice bill for a new ecu or refurb ect...

[edmsecurity]

They told me that the mass flywheel did not need replacing.

Thank god as they wanted £420 for that.

[RobseyMV6]

Now, thinking about it, they had to remove the pressure plate and its 6 bolts so they could have turned the engine backwards..
