Hi folks,
right impressive site you have here! I'd be grateful for some help
I've posted up as my 172 (2001) has developed a miss-fire..
I'd given the car a clean up inc the engine bay, drove home (70 miles!) no problems.
Next morning, girlfriend takes the car to work and I get a call to say "car is stuttering badly, and EML is flashing"
According to the RAC it was showing a missfire, but not giving a code for cylinder.
Get it home, sort out some water down by the plugs, put it all back together and still have the same issue.
Idle is rough and surging, with the occasional pop
car stutters under load, getting better higher in the rev range.
I'm suspecting wither plugleads/coilpack or injector.
Tried to order new leads, but have been asked what engine code I have- I know its an f4r, but not if its a 730 etc.
The autoparts shop say they have leads suitable for a 730 and a 736 (the same part)
but are the leads different between engine codes? I'd really appreciate your info on this!
I dont want to pay for the wrong leads to be ordered.
thanks
