    M271 engine misfire

    Yes I checked the ecu plug and harness for oil and i could see no oil. I will check again though. The solenoids were changed not for any leak reasons but to shut off a code I was seeing so I did not change the harness at that time. Do you think the hall sensor is faulty what ever that is or are...

    M271 engine misfire

    I have tried to find an Indy locally but no luck. I live in Ireland in the country so it means getting a tow truck to a dealer. Can you see why I want to avoid this if I can. But if this is what I need to do I will have to do it. Will icarsoft mb 11 not give me anything.

    M271 engine misfire

    No I have not done this, can I ask how do I do this? Forgive my ignorance but I taught this could only be done by turning the crankshaft by hand. Is it done using a diagnostic tool.

    04 E200 w211 rough idle

    Yes I believe you are right about the condensation, I only drive it in the dry weather and store it during the winter and only drive it a few miles to keep things ticking over. I am going to change the gasket, clean the plug chambers and coils and see if it runs right.

    04 E200 w211 rough idle

    Hi all, had a bit of time yesterday to look at the engine again and can confirm the timing is correct. When I removed the valve cover I round emulsified oil along the inlet side of the head and when I moved the valve cover some water dripped out. The valve cover gasket is leaking oil down into...

    04 E200 w211 rough idle

    Hi, thanks for the quick reply. For 1 second after start it ideals rough but then straight away it sounds fine. It actually sounds like there was a lack of petrol at start up and then it got some and ran fine. But if I go for a short journey of a mile or so the rough idal starts again.
