Thank you for that advice. I will move the plugs around to see if the symptoms move.

Did you get the compression checked yet?
Concur on possible plug problems. I once had a Granada 2.3 V6 and I changed the plugs...misfire...put the old ones back in and all OK. I guess even a new one has the chance of being duff! If compression is OK then at least change no. 4 and see what happens. Last edited by drjonts; 27th January 2020 at 15:59.. |

Leads were on 1,3 and 5 only on early cars I believe. Coils direct fit on 2,4 and 6.

So then, anyone want to suggest opening up the EMS 2000 to see it there is a fried MOSFET on the board?

Hopefully it won’t come down to that, all options open. The compression is being checked out by a local garage who mentioned that it could be an injector. Unfortunately there wasn’t a nearby Rover specialist for the AA to recover too, I wanted to have the car recovered to a specialist, so the car has now gone to a local garage. I don’t have the equipment for a compression test. Every time I have a local garage look at something I am usually disappointed at the service.
As regards the spark plug on 4, I didn’t take it out now I think of it, I was so sure that I had yet another dodgy coil, even though they are all new. I just stuck a new one on. I am hoping that as the mis- fire was sudden, I.e, whilst at motorway speeds on the M40, that it is something straight forward. You can live in hope! Thank you all for your advice. Toby. |

Just heard back from the garage, confirmed low compression on 4. The rear cylinder head has to come off for inspection, he can’t do it until Next Monday. ☹️. Cam belts were done 30k miles ago. Just my luck!
