Cat_man Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 hello evrybody... I'm french and i have a Seven 1.6L K 115 cv (1999) with a stange probleme : During a few kilometers (5-20 km) the engine seems to run on 3 cylinders, it stumbles and there is loss of power, which could be gone under hard mode, operation non stable etc... then gradually it settles as if nothing were. In general it takes hot driving but I already had it twice WHILE driving cold. I also notice that when this phenomenon arrives, I have backfires on the exhaust level at the time of "desacceleration. " Other note: nothing happens on motorway ,or in quiet CRUISE . I think that my problem can come from 3 causes... 1 Residues, waste in the gasoline tank or the filter which moves from time to time to gasoline feed. 2 air Intake (some share) in the line (of arrived) of gasoline fedd ? 3 Problem of injection: Defective sensor, injector stopped or defective what would explain the backfires because OF bad combustion Please, help me because I'm Worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Cat_Man Check for a faulty Spark Plug Loose or faulty Plug Lead or a cracked, damaged, dirty or damp (inside) Distributor Cap if you have one Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Martyr Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I agree with previous post. I would change the plugs and HT leads. It appears that there is a pattern to the fault and it is affecting one cylinder so it is unlikely to be dirt in fuel which would be a random event. but it could be an injector. Check the cables and plugs to injectors and the security of the flywheel position sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 As this is a modern Metro engine, could you not take it to a Rover dealer for a quick plug-in diagnostic before paying out on parts? 10 minutes on an engine analyser would tell you what is wrong....
