Injector cleaner from Halfords - just goes in the tank.

Snake oil IMO

S injectors seem to block for fun - one it's gone I think its gone.

Plugs are brand new - are they fitted ok? Conicidence they are just fitted and you are getting misfires?

I was getting misfire code before the new plugs are in. The reason I put in new plugs is to hope that the old plugs were the issue of causing the misfire codes.

Does it feel like its misfiring? i bet not its probably the coilpacks.

As the others say change the coilpacks around/clean them if they have oil on.

Changed the coilpacks around last night. Same code appeared.

When I start the engine from cold, it seems to be making subtle chucking noise, kinna like an old train if you know what I mean. Soon as it starts making that noise, a few secs later the error code will come on.

I have been advised by my mechanic to do a compression check accross the cylinders. He has also mention he saw Halford sells a kit for me to test.

Done a ECU reset and idle learn procedure. Car still throwing error code when engine is cold. When the engine is warm up, everything is fine.

Johnsons Honda quote me ~
