    Ok I have a problem and need some help to find the fault

    i have a misfiring problem... the symptoms are
    it is not a constant misfire only every now and again (maybe 1 every 2 seconds)
    it misses in the low to mid RPM range not high RPM (or ad lest I cant tell its missing above 4000rpm)
    I can make it misfire when parked in the driveway pulling the throttle cable
    it doesn't do it when its cold only once it has warmed up (but strangely enough when I had it up on a race track after giving it a real hard time on a hot day I couldn't make it misfiring)
    it doesn't do it when I am driving the car hard (i.e. full throttle) it will only miss under light acceleration and cruising

    having a guess

    Im no mechanic but i would probably start with fuel filter and spark plugs. When were they last changed?

    Do a power balance test to establish which cyl is down on power or ...

    Check spark plugs are good, coil pack, injector & PTU connectors etc. all clean and tight.

    See Tech Section A-Z/Misfire for more help.
