Hello guys I got a 1.8 efi cabby xr3i that I'm having trouble with, it runs sweet when cold but if it gets hot in traffic or on a long run etc it has a miss fire under load at 3000rpm?? It's had plugs, leads, a different coil, injectors put in it over winter but took it out for the 1st time today this year and still the same?? Any ideas?? Cheers craig

Bung it on a rolling road is my advice as it could be a number of things and you could well spend more bunging new sensors etc on.

 

Could be:

Temp sensor

Fuel Pump ( low fuel pressure)

Head Gasket

Air leak on inlet side (gasket or servo)

Throttle Position Sensor

Mass Airflow meter (give it a clean with some carb cleaner)

Cam Timing
