Misfire
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2023 8:43 pm
My 1.4 cav engined scirocco has started misfiring at idle , I have put new spark plugs in changed coil pack after switching 3and 4 to see if the problem followed , reduced spark gap to 0.7 mm which made it slightly better, compressions are all within 5% of each other (145 psi) new timing chain etc 3000 miles ago .
If I hold the rpm at 800/825 with my foot on the accelerator peddle it’s fine but if I leave it to idle after around a minute the eml light comes on solid then if I blip the throttle the eml light goes out , a scan with vcds usually shows multi cylinder misfire and number 3 cylinder misfire .
I have seen on YouTube that it’s possible to alter the idle speed using vcds but don’t know which code to use , has anyone else on here had the same problem , any response would be much appreciated .
