1993 214 16V MPi Misfiring on Acceleration When Warm and Wet
This has been an ongoing problem for ages, I had assumed it was sorted with replacing the lamda sensor.
30 Mile trip down the motorway yesterday (weather conditions: very wet), get off the slip road and then it starts.
If you go below 4000 revs it starts to misfire, you put your foot on the accelerator and it dies. Stop the car and let it idle, idles perfectly. Put your foot on the accelrator to pull off as normal, it dies and cuts out. Do a juggling trick with clutch and accelrator boyracer stylee (above 4000 revs) and I can manage to pull off and by keeping it in a low gear can actually manage to get somewhere, but the poor engine having its nuts revved off
Now if I do ever manage to get to my destination, park it up for a couple of hours it will be fine for the rest of the day.
My best guess is water getting in somewhere, but where and on what?
The car has had new
HT Leads
Distributor Cap
Rotar Arm
Fuel Filter
Lamda Sensor
and the throttle sensor has been checked.
