Title: Can some one help with misfiring / recommend someone to help
Post by: jamiep91 on November 30, 2012, 09:00:55 am
Since buying my mk5 gti I've had a misfire so took it to jabbasport earlier in the week and was told it was something in the map causing it so had a remap.. Which made it better but didnt solve it and when I collected it they told me this buy didnt seem interested I'm fixing it ? And charged me top dolla for the remap so just a bit p****d off ATM can anyone help

They did tell me the misfire was In cylinder 2 so don't know where to go from here.

Thanks in advance for any help  :smiley:

Also stalls when I slow down fast and pull away , spark plugs have been changed and could swapped around I believe

Misfire is usually down to problems with spark plugs, coil pack or injector.

If they've already changed plugs and did the "coil pack shuffle" without resolution makes me suspect an injector issue.

Would this cause it to stall when slowing down ?
