i have recently brought an R reg corsa sport 1.4i 16v and have the same trouble misfiring at idle have changed sparks,leads had new lamber sensor ... was adviced by a mobile tune up guy it was a sticky lifter so used engine flush and changed oil still there ........ was adviced due to it drinkin fuel while idling it may be a jacked valve but surely power would be low in 3rd 4th and 5th( which isnt the case.... !) oh and rev counter is searching up down little movements while idling any help much appreiciated.:thumbs: | |

what I don't understand then is why was the car 100% fine, then handed it to them for a gearbox fitting, then now it's doing this, if it was related to plug gaps or something? | |

If its major overfueling causing the misfire you can get bore wash which takes the lubricating properties of oil away from your cylinder bores and they might wear quick, this takes place over a long period of time though | |
