ASTRA G 2001 -- 1.6 misfire

Mar 12, 2006 2 Replies

Driving along today no problem then suddenly a misfire and the engine warning light starts flashing.



Nursed it home and discovered that the light illuminates and it misfires when you press the throttle and goes out when you leave it.



Replaced plugs but no difference , engine will idle ok for so long then starts to mis, If I hold the engine at any revs its ok but if a blip the throttle it misfires.



I suspect it may be the coil pack but welcome any other ideas.

Coil pack in the first instance- it sounds like it could be spiking the ecu in your case also.

Just swapped the coil pack over from a m8s car and that was the fault, now to find a new one ;-)
