Driving up the M1 on Saturday, my Megane started misfiring badly and a warning light came on and stayed on. I slowed down and managed to nurse it to my destination (I was only a couple of miles away).
I called out the AA and by the time the mechanic arrived, the car would start and tick over (although a little lumpily). When we tried to drive it, the warning light came on intermittently and the engine was misfiring (although not as badly as it had been originally).
We identified that the warning light is suggesting that there's a problem with the fuel injectors, The mechanic thought it may be a problem with the coil (because the misfire occurred under load). He couldn't do any further testing so I got Relayed home.
I read somewhere that this may be a problem that the proprietary injector cleaners may fix.
The car is a Megane 1.6 manual P reg 97k miles.
Has anyone come across this problem? Is there any way that anyone can suggest that I can try and narrow down the problem?
Appreciate any help
Neil
