Hi all,
can anyone suggest a way forward for this problem with an 2003 N16 Almera 1.8 petrol please?
A week ago i had my injectors cleaned at a garage at the same time as my mot. No problems with the mot at all...
When i drove it away it seemed a bit sluggish but no issues. A few days later it misfired on startup for a short while, then again the next morning - after which the orange engine mngmt light came on and stayed on.
It had misfired wice before which is why i took it to be cleaned.
I went back to the mechanic who hooked it up and said it was just an exhaust sensor, reset it and said come back if it continues.
This morning it did it again, the light just flashed for a while then went off.
Why has this atrted after the injector clean? Is it just some dirt in the system that needs to be flushed out? Should I change plugs first to see if it helps (and should i put super4's in)?
My mechanic is of course italian as i live in italy, but my technical italian is not up to this sort of conversation - and i guess there are more experts reading this who may be able to help.
Any thoughts? ...and please don't tell me it could be the timing chain....
thanks lots
Chris
