2.0 tsi mis-fires
Posted: Sat Sep 16, 2023 11:54 am
Hi, I hope someone can give me a little guidance..
I bought a scirocco 2.0 tsi 2009, then the chain jumped and pistons hit valves.
I removed the head, new valves, gaskets and chain kit with new tensioner, plugs, filters. I read that the PCV valve is a known problem so replaced this at this time.
Put it all back together, starts, idles, then misfires, code P2004 Intake control bank stuck open, followed by cylinder 4 and 3 misfiring.
Found the actuating arm falling out of the inlet manifold.
Replaced the inlet manifold. Started and runs fine for 30 seconds on idle then begins to get lumpy (when rpm is increased above idle no issues) P0300, P0303 and P0304.
Moved coil packs and spark plugs around but no help. checked compression, all cylinders good. Removed inlet manifold and moved injectors 3 & 4 to 1 & 2 position.
Misfire is now At cylinder 1 & 3 - I could put the cylinder 1 misfire now down to an injector as this injector was from cylinder 3. But the misfire at cylinder 3 remains regardless of the injector swap.
Replaced injectors 1 &3, idles fine for 30 seconds then mis fires begin on cylinder 1&3.
At this point I’m out of ideas, does anyone have any ideas before I put this into a specialist.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
