Cookie Monster Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I occasionally get a pull away misfire & less frequently a top end misfire....well when I say misfire i mean hesitation above 5.5k which when nailed goes away I have changed plugs, leads, rotor arm, sprayed WD everywhere & the problem goes away for a while. I am starting to think fuel filter might be blocked(2003 car never replaced)? ISTR that it's around the fuel tank area? Any thoughts welcome as I have the Llandow track day next weekend & don't need this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan7 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Could be the fuel filter, it's behind the drivers seat near the petrol tank, you can get to it from underneath but need the boot floor out to get at it properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Dicks No coil packs on mine. R300 k series on throttle bodies. I should have added I have changed the dizzy cap too.
