Misfiring when cold

Featured Replies

Had this problem since I got the car last week. Evertime I start the car its misfiring and the engines rocking quite badly. If I hold the revs just over 1k it doesn't seem to do it. But once it's warm its fine.

Last night it did cut out on me. Wouldn't start for a bit, would only turn over.

After about 5 mins it started and seemed fine once it was warm.

I've had it plugged into a code reader and there's no fault codes and no pending codes.

Considering how bad it is I'm supprised it's not throwing a code.

Any ideas guys?

Another problem now. This morning, started the car it fired then cut out. Started it again then de iced the it whilst it was running. Then i set off to work and it big down stright away and dies. Now it won't start, it did try fire once or twice but that was it. It sounds fuel related to me, it's got about 1/4 of a tank of v power diesel.

I'm servicing the car this weekend and putting that new temp sensor on.

Think I've bought a lemon!

Sucks to hear the car isn't as straight now as when it left me in 2009, guess a lot can happen in those years.

Or indeed not a lot in terms of servicing and maintenance.

I think it has been neglected for a bit. But I'll try tidy it up providing it doesn't become a money pit!

Plugged it into vag com and it's got a misfire on cylinder two. Thinking of changing the injector loom, fingers crossed that will cure it.

Serviced the car today and removed the egr.

When my injection loom went, the missfire only happened when the car warmed up, was fine when cold.

I previously had an issue which sempt to only happen in cold. Turned out it was a bad wire leading to crank sensor. That did throw a code up though.

Well I've changed the injector loom and it's still misfiring. It does it worse when it's cold but still does it when it's warm just not as bad. What would be the next port of call?

Cylinder 2 injector lash worth checking, otherwise it's a possible injector fault since you've changed the loom already.
