Help needed please-Misfire

[s10blades]

Hi All
I am in need of some help , just bought the car a E85 2.5i with 100k, it developed a misfire on cylinder 6 and I found the problem to be a spark plug ( by swapping them across ) and not the coils as the problem moved cylinders .I changed all six and the car was back to normal for a day or so until last night when it once again developed a misfire , this time on cylinder 2
Can you please advise the next step / what to check next, would a coil go bad , do you change all six
Any advise gratefully received
Thanks

If you haven't changed the coil packs along with the spark plugs then do that also.

 

[s10blades]

Do you change all six or individually?

 

[Brouse]

If the plugs are all new then yes all six coils is usually the the rule of thumb.

You can normal find them in a good deal on autodoc and similar sites like that.

You could swap the coil to a different cylinder to see if the fault moves with it, replacing just the faulty one would be fine.

I have 6 coils used that you can have to try and solve your problem,
I dont want to faff about posting,but i am only just down the road in Barnsley.
I was given these by a forum member who told me they were all working fine ,he just changed to new ones as
a preventative measure.
If you want to collect you are welcome to them.
They are out of a 3.0i e85 i am assuming they will be fine for yours,but please check beforehand.

Hi thanks a lot
I am really sorry I missed this reply , I got no notification at all
I would have snapped up your offer as well , I have since sorted it with 6 new coils but it only needed the one , I thought it best to just have a clean sheet of all new

Glad it's sorted buddy :driving:
