Hi Everyone,
I have just had this evening an interesting breakdown the engine warning light came on and after parking the car safely in a lay by. I fitted a one of those tools that can tell me what is wrong to my car via outlet plug & it told me that the fault lay in number 1 cylinder which was miss firing. So when I contacted my breakdown cover, the recovery truck driver/mechanic checked out my 2002 K11 but couldn’t find the fault that was listed he lifted up my bonnet and listened to the engine and no problem found even when he unplugged 1 or 2 plugs one after the after just to show me the different sound and still no problems. So I was able to drive home without calling him out again. (He told me that his girlfriend car is a k11 also, so he knew the right sound to look out for and said that the engines are reliable).
My question is what would cause a misfire in the first place?
