Unfortunately to fully correct it the head will have to come off, valves lapped and tested for a good seal, valve lift checked as if the cam lobes are worn they won't be opening fully, piston travel checked, piston ring wear etc etc. I did set the iacv for you and also checked the injector open times, I think they were all around 2.3ms, mixture is not user adjustable, the ecu adjusts very quickly to changes, this is called the 'short term fuel trims', long term are the adapted (average) values based on the short term. The coils had corrosion on the tips and were making poor connection to the plugs, we did clean them up for you and it certainly reduced the misfire rate but not cure it, this is why a compression test was carried out and found 2 & 3 noticeably lower than 1 & 4. Opening the throttle and allowing more air and fuel in will always appear to make it run smoother. You could try and get a leak down test done and this will show if the valves are leaking or the piston rings. Good luck with what ever you decide to do. p.s. Don't forget the timing was out which can cause a problem with valves and seats so although they may have been OK before, don't take it for granted that they have a good seal now. |
