2.0 Mi16 Running Rough

Recommended Posts

fila1223

Hi

For past half of the year i was trying to diagnose my engine but with no luck.

Basically car struggles to maintain idle and revs with great effort to, and exhoust smells of unburned fuel.

I'm getting spark everywhere and lamba was replaced recently, but i discovered that engine is running smoother on 3 cylinders when i remove first coil from gearbox side.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on ? I'm seriously running out of ideas.

map sensor is sealed

i wasn't able to find any vaccum leaks either

Its got to be worth fitting a new spark plug and coil to the cylinder closest to the gearbox , if it runs the same or better when that coil is disconnected the problem could be there .

Check your purge valve.

Both new and it runns better when i disconnect a coil

And i don't have a purge valve, the donor car didn't had one

If the purge valve is missing, how is that circuit blocked off? I presume the carbon canister set up was removed at the same time, but how was it plugged?

If that would be the case wouldn't it runn fine on cold engine ?

Motor runns the same when it's cold and warm

Ignition amplifiers, try swapping them around or replace them

Passenger side inner wing area

Absolutely possible yes

 

How old is the fuel and fuel filter?

 

Mine always ran like crap on anything other than super unleaded

Fuel is about 4 days old and filter is brand new

I'm gonna 100% go with ignition amps if you're saying all 4 coils work?

 

Only other option is ecu which is unlikely but the map sensor is in the ecu but that wouldn't cause a misfire

You know what, ecu might be the problem

I make vaccum with hand pump on map sensor and it runns better. It's not a problem with vaccum tube itself becouse i can see that vaccum isn't escaping on gauge. I tested other tubes for leaks but i couldn't find any

So i guess it is't an ecu falt since i changed it and engine is running the same as before
