Hello recently my ibiza mk2 2.0L 16v has developed a miss fire at low revs , after around 2k the car runs fine any ideas what this could be ?

I recently gave the car a full service using genuine parts on Saturday including plugs and it seem to be fine after that at first , then the miss fire developed.

I've only owned the car a week and it only really miss fired on one journey before the service but it was a harsh misfire

Thanks kris

A couple of things come to mind.

Although you changed the plugs - that doesn't mean that a new plug might not be faulty.

The best way is to eliminate things one at a time. So I'd put the old plugs back in and see what happens. If the problem's still there, look at what else you've changed that might cause the problem.

These plugs are good for at least 60,000 miles - so not sure if you needed to change them anyway ?

Did you change any other ignition parts too ? If you did, again, try putting back the old parts one at a time.


The other thing I thought was that maybe the injector nozzles might be a bit dirty. A good old dose of Redex or the like wouldn't do any harm.
