Just plugged in my OBD-II gizmo.

(i had a management light come up on monday)

OBD-II says;

Permanent DTC:

PO301 Cylinder 1 Misfire detected.

Pending DTC:

PO301 Cylinder 1 Misfire detected.

Oh great! Back it goes.

Thing i dont get is why the ecu is saying the misfire is still happening. (i assume this is why its lined up a pending dtc)

its quite clearly not!, its running fine. i just whooped a 328i (e36)

The salesman who lives near me has a black 182 too (catchy) and his ECU was fooked after 2 months. Still, got it sorted for nothing within a couple of days. Warranty is good, but these errors shouldnt really be happening. Nothing we can do about it though. Oh well, Im expecting the worst when mine comes next week, in a sort of hoping that it wont go wrong kinda way :)

yeh the spark-coil plug things always go on clios. one of my m8s cars had all 4 of them go all at once and another m8 had 3 go at different times and wen he took his car in yesterday they sed that the car had the faults all along from wen it left the factory... weird i know! but in both cases renault replaced them under warrenty!

did the obd say anything else like 1,pollutant misfire or 2,destructive misfire? pollutant misfire is a slight misfire which will affect emissions. destructive misfire is a bad misfire that could potentially damage the cat etc.
