Intermittant Fault, Engine Not Firing On All Cylinders

[Newbee]

Hi Folks, my (Y) reg lingo developed a fault with the engine not firing on all cylinders this lasted for a few miles and I had to stop the engine, when I went to restart it it was fine.

My father owned the car before me and he said it had a similar fault and he had it fixed under warranty.

He described the part replaced as the part that connects all the spark plugs, I think the coil, any one out there that has experianced the same problem and has had it fixed. I would appreciate some feed back as I'm facing a long journey next week and will probably have to take it to my local garage.

 

Thanks in advance

if the fault was multiple missfires on all cylinders it will be the coil.

You may be right Iannez, would you know I my (Y) reg 1.4 forte multispace has an electronic

managment system that can be plugged into to find the fault, if so I can then ask the garage if they have the software for this.

 

Thanks

most dealers charge around £50 for a diagnosis check but the price of this is usually knocked of the repair bill if you have it fixed by them.
