DamanC Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Last night my car was missfireing badly. To note: It only does it on high boost (wot after 4/5k rpm). It felt very like fuel cut it was missing for that long, im sure it was probably only half a second but its the kettle boiling idea. Once it came back to life it felt like the back kicked out everso slightly! I have denso iridium ik24's (the BPU ones) that are about 9 months old with about 4k on them. I replaced the previous set that had less than 8k on them again due to a missfire, which seemed to solve the problem No work has been done to the car since being fine to missing The Error code only popped up after I left the motor way to slow on a slip road. After a reboot it hasn't returned but only drove 5 miles home without WOT. I have found the procedure to sorting this problem here but I feel this maybe a little beyond me. Can anyone recommend what to do next? I have had a search but it is follow the linked procedure and that is about it I was thinking replace all of my coil pack clips, changing the plugs. Advice and igniter packs welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sounds like coils/coil plugs to me. Error code 14 is poor ignition signal isnt it? Ill have a good set of coil packs available next week Check all your plugs on your coils are fitted tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I had exactly the same miss at 4k revs and a new set of coil packs sorted it out. Fingers crossed they will last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Check all your plugs on your coils are fitted tight Went out to pop some new sparkers in, went to pop the second coil pack clip/connector off and it came off far too easily. Its missing the side bit that locks it on (has been like it since day one). I expect that was the problem? Time for a drive tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
