Trophy with bad misfire

[Brooky182]

So my curse with cars continues

driving to get my son yesterday in traffic stationary and engine management light starts flashing and car then starts misfiring badly, turned around and drove home.
called out RAC and they read fault codes as misfire on cylinder 2.

towed to garage today and they replaced the injector but no difference. Getting plugs and leads looked at tomorrow but question is if that doesn't rectify it does anybody have any other ideas on what it could be?

 

[MarcB]

the most common ones are

Plugs
Leads
Coil Pack
Injector

did they replace the right injector?

 

[Tommo.]

did they replace the right injector?

My thoughts too.

If working left to right, they should of replaced the third injector.

 

[Brooky182]

Yes changed two to be safe

You forgot your son!

Any codes since injector change?

I had an EML flashing with the fault saying injector four for a while - changed leads, coil pack, plugs with no luck, still flashed now and then.

Stuck a new pre-cat lambda in and car has behaved since. Something to consider.

Was the car sounding like a tank and misfiring also or just the light flashing now and again?

It wasn't I'm afraid, don't think my problem was as severe as yours sounds, just trying to think of things other than injectors!

Thank god it's been sorted. Some idiot has jet washed the engine bay it looks like and water has got into the were the spark plugs are.

Rusted them and I'm lucky they all came out in one piece. All changed with new leads and coil pack just to be safe and it's running 100% fine. Thanks for all the suggestions and help

Glad it's fixed mate and without too much time and money spent. I'll give you a shout as soon as I get my T back

 

[Brooky182]

Yeah sounds like a plan

That's what causes about half the misfires I get in
