Sweet, cheers Marc.

Sorted. Compression was identical across all 4 cylinders, so I went back through everything electrical today. It was a dodgy HT lead on cyl2, after all that! (I'd tried my spare set, but not since swapping the injector). Running perfectly again. Last couple of Q's. Can I reset the check...

Ok, thanks a lot for the help Dan, I'll report back when it's been tested. Cheers

Yep, I've tried that too, swapping the injectors over on the rail... And the damn misfire just won't move. Wouldn't a cylinder fault be more likely to come on and get worse gradually though? The fact it was running perfectly one moment, and then as if a switch flicked, it was running on 3, made...

I meant the injector leads - I swapped these around between cyls 2 and 3 and the misfire didn't move... Haven't tried swapping ht leads around between the cyls, but swapped for a whole spare coil pack/set of leads. No difference. So I think that rules that out. I guess the logical next thing...

That's the one, Monaco. Hasn't missed a beat since you had it, until this! Sounds normal to me while cranking, yep. You thinking that would be a sign of low compression on that Cyl? Na I don't have a noid light, I could possibly get hold of/buy one, but again if it wasn't firing the one...

It's RX51***, you had you had it in for an engine swap when it blew a plug out of the head. I thought it was injector too, especially as cyl3 injector had failed 100 miles ago, but I've tried swapping cyl2 with cyl3 (which runs fine so the injector must be good) and the misfire stays with...

Thanks, I'll fire lemonnobby a pm now as I think he's in Bristol.

Dan, Thanks, the car's been down to your place before and I'd definitely bring it down again if I thought it was ok to drive, but without a diagnosis I wouldn't want to drive that far on 3 cyls in case I caused damage. Thanks though mate

Hi, I've checked the wiring by swapping the cables from cyl2 and cyl3 over - the misfire remains on cyl2. I've also checked with a multimeter that power is getting to both injectors, which it is. Is there anything else I need to/can check, wiring wise? Thanks

I've been struggling to diagnose a misfire for the last couple of weeks, hopefully one of you lot with vastly superior knowledge of these cars might be able to help. The initial problem occurred during heavy rain, car was running perfectly, then I parked up, returned it it and started it up...

According to Renault parts direct the part number is 7701035664. In case anyone finds this thread in the future. Cheers everyone for your help, hope the part fits.

I think it's part 13 on this diagram that we're looking at, is that right?

sweet, thanks Ben. do you reckon I'd get the remains of that out with needlenose pliers? ie does it need a proper tug or do they come out pretty easily? cheers

Yeah 180degs around the rod, so the clip is on the far side of the rod as you look at it, that's what I reckoned. Just need to know if it's replaceable separately (ie if it comes out of the latch), and whether it's sourceable from Renault. I'd give glue a whirl, but I know it'd only last 5...
