hi all having just re done the head on my c200 komp it not running all that well, the chap across the road stuck a code reader on it and it came up with misfire on no.1 cylinder, now there are 4 brand new coil packs on the car and i was wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what i could check to remedy this? im wondering if with me taking the head off which included taking many hoses,fuel rail,sensors ect i may have disturbed something? its the 271 engine, many thanks :)

Had a similar problem a while ago with my old C180, specialist couldn't find the fault, however, another garage used the older "Sun" type oscilliscope type and discovered it was one of the "new" coil packs that I had fitted previously, it was malfunctioning and causing an intermittent misfire. Suppose the moral is, just because it's new doesn't mean it aint faulty!

yes il swap them about and see what comes up,im kind of hoping it is a faulty one just to make things easy for a change,the car is of road at the moment so cant take it to get put on diagnostic jobby, im thinking of checking coils,plugs,fuel injectors/leads as there the parts i have had off, after that im in no mans land ,not got an igloo what to look at after that

Go back to basics, i.e. Fuel+Air+Compression+Timing+Ignition = Power. Sounds simplistic, but if you think about it logically and check the various steps of this sequence there must be a break in the chain - so, if spark is o.k. check fuel, if fuel is o,k. check air, etc.etc. got to be there somewhere ;);)

sorry podmo. the missing is due to the ecu shutting down one or more cylinders. it will do this at the drop of a hat, because it detects cylinder misfires over a certain threshold that you may not even notice! often 'turning it off and on again' will reset it for a while. did you grind the valves in?

could be the split hose you may have read about - do you have a code scanner?

Hi there,

I got the same problem as Podmo. But my car is C200 Compresor 2002 -engine 111. Is it because of the coil injector?
