Hi All,

Have developed an interesting little misfire in my c3 1.4sx ( 52 plate ) with aircon.

Initially when it first started I had the engine light on and it also wouldn't idle, so stuck an OBD 2 reader on it and it all seemed to point to Injector number 4. Replaced Injector ( and also coilpack ) and stuck the reader on and cleared codes. Started the car up , no probs ran fine, took it for a quick spin and again no problems. Drove it to work this morning , idled fine, but when i went to pull away from a junction it stuttered and then started to judder as if misfiring. Thing is I don't have an engine light onnow, so no codes to read. Any Ideas???

Cheers

Why do you say no codes unless you have tried to read them?

I would read the codes again.

This may also be relevant Leaking washer jets causes damage to fuel injector on the C3?
