Query Misfiring
I am due to take my 206 1.1 02 plate for a new back box on Friday as it is blowing. This morning it started absolutely fine and ran fine for the first 10 minutes of my journey. Then all of a sudden it started doing what sounded like a misfire. The plugs have been changed recently as we figured it was a cheap thing to do anyway and may fix it. It seemed to be absolutely fine. Don't think it is misfiring as there appears to be a reduction in power when accelerating and also when sitting stationery you can feel it kind of chugging. I can only describe that it sounds like an old VW Beetle if that makes any sense?? Any help would be much appreciated as everything in my life seems to be breaking at the moment

Re: Query Misfiring
You may find the exhaust sorts it. O2 sensors can be *fooled* by blowing exhausts.
