Tobester 1 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 What year is the car? Sounds like a possible coilpack issue to me. I had similar and it happened all of a sudden, fine when cold, bad misfire when warm. I was told that when warm the weak coilpack is under extra stress and can't cope with demand from the engine, hence the misfire / rough running every time it got up to some sort of temperature.

luke832 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 na its not, i sprayed it and no cracks or electric archin, its fine, im thinkin its the maf sensor again, i got my last one from gsf i could sware it was a re conditioned one because i took it out of the packaging and it was dusty!!!! i think ive had this one for about 5k pulled the plug out to the maf sensor and the rough idle dissapeared and the car drove fine, im going to get them to swap it or i want a refund if not!!!! its a bosch and theyre apparently unreliable!

Bobtrude 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 dont forget the coolant sensor..... its cheap and important. My coilpack wasnt working on high rpms and it made the whole car extremly jumpy. Like it was turning on and off when i put my foot down. Link to post Share on other sites
