Afternoon all,
So long story short since buying this 182 I've had a misfire problem non stop. Cant remember having it when I bought the car, but once I had the dephaser job done (which was only a week or so later), we noticed the timing was out, so Rayo (Phil at grange service station in Cardiff) set that back to standard etc. As far as I can remember since then there has been a misfire - destructive misfire code, think it was injector 2 (this was about a year ago now) - so we changed all the injectors, spark plugs, leads, coil packs sensors etc etc. Changed a couple more injectors as they were faulty and the car started running fine - whilst idling it would start to misfire etc but then once moving that problem seemed to disappear? (strange I know) anyway. Car has been running smoothly now for a few months (exception to this idle misfire). We can figure out what the issue is? Possible map/timing issue? Knackered engine and just plonk a fresh one in?
Aaaaaanyway.... that's just the background... the issue is here..
Saturday morning I took it out for a run, just down to the shops and back, all okay. Then the misses (no pictures on me as I'm NOT in work....) and I were heading off in the evening to a friends. We get 100 yards down the road and out of nowhere all power etc just disappears, revs dropped to around 500 and putting the pedal to the flow did nothing.. we rolled for a bit and I pulled over. Turned the car off and on again (because that's how you fix a computer problem) and the car started fine, 5 seconds in and the revs dropped back down to around 500 (it normally idles at 900 ish). So deciding that this is not looking good I turn the car around to try and get it on the drive, but the combination of extremely low revs (don't pick up when the pedal was planted) and the slight incline of the road meant it wouldn't make it as as such has been parked up where it was.
Any insights/suggestions would be appreciated.
Please keep trolling to a minimum... salty subject seeing as I've put about 2000 miles on it since owning it for 3 years...
Love ya'll

I'll mention it and see what Phil says (assume it must be the one we changed before).
