SORTED! cheers for all the help people, much appreciated x

in the end the working, but second hand, coil pack stopped the misfire :D

chuffed now

okay mate i'll check those today and post an update when i've found a new coil to put on!

yeah thats the one.. the vacume hoses may not actualy have the problem of being detatched but they may have perrished to the extent they are letting air in...

also put your hand down the back of the inlet manifld as they have a tendency to spring a leak at the gasket

yep i did the CTS today as well, not fixed it though :(

and i did have a good look at the vacuum hoses and couldn't see any that were unplugged...however i will have another better look tomorrow

o2 sensor...is that the one on the top part of the exhaust manifold?? if so, i havn't tried that yet

duuhhhhhh i've missed stating the most important thing to check....

vacume hoses :) common as muck to cause a whole heap of problems with the 14 and 16xe engines

tryed a coolant temperature sensor yet? or a o2 sensor can cause this problem mate

could it be the cts sensor? mine had the same problem, it was missing all the time, then it stopped starting, changed the cts and away it went,

when you say really bad, what can it be?

i'm hoping it's just the coil now

not to sound cocky, i was driving it. noticed it was missing and then tried to keep it below 2-3000rpm whilst driving it home

heat related can be coil or something realy bad...

try the coil..

out of curiosity what were you doing when this missfire started?

right to day i changed the air flow sensor the engine temp sensor, and still i have the same problem, when the car is cold it runs fine but once its warmed up the missfire begains, im goin to try and get hold off an coil next, anny one ellse got any ideas??

good idea mate i will try it if i have no luck with the sensors

cheers for the help lads...need this sorted by monday for work!

so i'm going to change that first as well.
if those don't fix it then yeah i think the coil pack is next...are they expensive?

i thought the same tbh mate, engine temp sensor shouldn't affect it, got to replace it anyways because it's fooked

i have a spare air sensor mate free to a good home:thumbs:

im going to say coil pack mate mine did the same, ask sean haha when he was taking it down to the mot for me it suddenly messed up

try another coil pack on it?

i had this problem on my last corsa it ended up been the spark plugs?
even though the kid said they were brand new when i bought the car like a week before :o

engine temp sensor... i wouldnt have thought that would make it misfire??

yesterday my 1.6 sport developed an exhaust blow and then started misfiring :(

i have already had a read up on a few of the threads i found using the search.

these helped and so far i've changed my plugs and leads and i have ordered an engine temp sensor because that has stopped working. going to fit that tomorrow. could this really cause it to misfire though?! :boggle:

it's missing when i put my foot down more than about half throttle, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do next if the sensor doesn't help?
