    Default Miss help!

    Hi all

    I have previously done a thread about a miss/car shaking in my car wen you stop. Also notice a slight miss wen accelerating heavily.
    I change the plugs and leads on the weekend but no difference! Wha would be the next option?? Coils or O2 sensors??

    All help appreciated heaps

    Cheers Frank

    Could be a number of things. Dodgy MAF sensor, coil pack, crank angle sensor.

    You need to check the DTC's first.

    check your coils for hairline cracks, daytime.

    with the engine running take turtle shell of and look for tracking, do this at night easier to see.

    can't check error code's on a vx, you need techII scan tool.

    today the miss has changed??? Instead of a constand miss and hiccup. Its now idling fine but get a violent shake and feels like it will stall, then goes back to good idle. But its doing it a bit more now....
