Racing blue was probably my favourite.
This looks great when clean though. Will be even better when it's a tad lower.

Looks great Jim!
When you fitting the coilovers mate?
Injector?
God knows.
Random thought; you don't think it's been mapped onto the 97Ron map in the past and running it on normal 95 is what's making it run rough? It's certainly the quickest Clio I've had...
Yeah, getting it read on Saturday. I'm guessing it's an injector.
330i. E30 Touring.
To test, unplug the connectors to the injectors as it's running.
That will narrow down which cylinder is misifiring.
From there, it'll either be coilpack, leads, plug or injector.
Anymore and you'll be binning the engine. lol.
I know it's had recent plugs, coilpack and leads. It's proper intermittent - it'll misfire at idle and then seems to sort itself out and then will go back into misfire mode! Was doing it a little but has got a lot worse now and seems to be worse when not driven for a few days.
Might be worth taking it to Renault for diagnostics. Then atleast if they 'fix it' and it comes back you get a refund for the part (surely?) and can try the next thing..
Just took it round the block and it's running spot on! Who knows?
I'll take it to DDC if it doesn't get any better.

@George@RTR_Parts is the cheapest for Bosch lambdas. I got both mine from him and service was, as always, :up::up:
Cheers, previous owner got them free through work so I'm guessing they weren't the best.
Still running de-cat? Could that not be why it's bringing that up, and not the source of the misfire?
That's the pre cat sensor so shouldn't make any difference if it's decatted (as far as I know).
Gotcha. Fingers crossed mate. Bonnet update? Repair still on the cards or you going to wait it out for a replacement?
Half tempted to go for the repair mate.
The other half tempted for the replacement?
The place I went said they could do it, but it would come back. How long you keeping it anyway? Ha. Might come back through in a year but no way will you still have it then.
I guess that makes me 50 50.
Does it only run rough when the engine is cold Jim? Like first thing on a morning etc
Shortly after I got my Clio the pre-lambda sensor was goosed and whilst on the cold map it would run rough as f**k and sound like it was misfiring on idle and then all of a sudden it'll run fine.

Kind of. It was hardly running yesterday and today it was fine! I'm confused by it all but that's the only fault that's showing. I checked the injectors and they seem fine.
If you run it first thing tomorrow with the engine cold, just see if it idles rough and if it does it should only be for around 5 mins or so. If it idles fine then it might not be the lambda
Working at 3pm mate unfortunately. I'll be alright any night after today though.
