choppa7 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi chapsJust after a bit of reassurance on the right way to approach this problem...my missus's Lupo' (X reg 1.0E) engine light came on on Friday, (she said the battery light - bloody women!!) I went to get ni last night and it turns out its the mangement light. I stuck a fault reader on and it came back with 2 faults, 1st saying random misfire on any cylinder, 2nd saying the cylinder was #1From having a bit of a search about, I'm going with plugs, HT leads and then coil pack as the initial and cheapest options. I'm hoping the rain we've had as gotten things a bit wet and new items will sort it.IF none of the above 3 sort the problem, what else should I be checking?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 These engines are hard on the ignition system, plugs and leads are a very good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupoluke Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) This has happend to me a few times as well,1st time coil pack (i put new leads on shortly after the coil pack, just to play it safe) 2nd time plugsIf these do not fix it you want to be looking at cam/camshaft sensor.
