Okay so last week i noticed my car was down on power. Stopped to have a luck and found that the breather hose had come off on the rocker cover and spurted oil everywhere.
After that i scanned the car ;
16490 - Manifold / Barometric Pressure Sensor (G71) / (F96): Implausible Signal
P0106 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
After this the car has loss of power, its like if you rev it fully its slower than having part throttle :S
Cleaned the MAP sensor still throwing the code up
Bought a sensor still throwing the code up
Scanned the car again and got
6556 - Fuel Trim: System Too Rich: Bank 1
P0172 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
4 days later driving the car home form work at midnight going round a roundabout press the pedal to accelerate off the car dies pushed car into lay by and started it and sounded awful, engine light flashing and wouldn't rev past 3k. anyway left the ignition off for 2 minutes then started back up and would rev properly but still lack of power and jerking
So i scanned it in the morning and come up with
16687 - Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0301 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Changed the plugs for the old ones and car still jerking, lack of power
then i took the end Cam covers off and got some photos of them they look in the same place to me so do this rule out timing issues ?
Since then my car has now developed a whistle its worse when its cold but when the car gets up to temp the whistle goes away
Also when my car is cold when letting off the accelerator the engine is very violent "engine brakes " really hard.
I then ordered 3 coil packs off ebay and they came today so i fitted them today and still the jerking and lack of power it also died on me as well when test driving it car engine was warm. as i was so frustrated when the i started the car the engine light kept flashing so i just kept revving the car and eventually it revved past 3k and could drive it home
I got home and scanned the car and got this
