hi everybody,
as above iv got a missfire under revs and low idle which drops on clio's own accord, Car is a - 99 v reg 1.6 16v Si k4m 102k
car has been off road for a long time(prob over a year) in this year ive needed new radiator and manifold, clio has been overheated a few times and manifold sounding like a rally car as one of the 4 branches was burnt right threw.
iv replaced rad+mani and since then i have had a lumpy idle and missfire threw rev range,
ive drained and flushed coolant and oil yesterday(sunday 24th) to which its slightly helped thou still got the dut-dut-drrr-dut-dut-drrr-dut-dut on idle then once revs are on off course the drrr becomes more constant.
im thinking since its been overheated a few times maybe the head has been caused sum damage....
ive replaced my battery and was given a 063 not the 065 so unsure whether this would cause anything...
.
i took my compression tester yesterday to test cylinders thou i couldnt get a hold of the spark plug with the long sockets i had and then just got on with oil+coolant change...
kinda stuck now between sending it to garage for head treatments or investigating plugs+leads further myself.....ANY CLIOSPORT HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!
MANY THANKS
