Misfire :(
« on: March 06, 2014, 09:03:02 am »
I'm getting a misfire on cylinder one, checked the spark plug and was very wet with fuel, changed all four coils, no difference, changed the sparks plugs and misfire was cured. 2 weeks later misfire, back on cylinder one again, checked spark plug and found wet again. Changed it again and it went away and ran fine for a couple of weeks and now the same fault again. What could be causing these plugs to fail so quickly? And only on cylinder 1 it seems.

The injectors I got brand new and aren't even a year old
Car has k04 conversion with shark remap, could this be an issue with the map

Any help would be appreciated

If plugs are new and coils are new and your getting wet plugs.. it points to the injector being faulty (possibly dumping fuel instead of atomising or just leaking in general)
