Running unevenly and misfiring.

On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria
|
-
|
General conditions for this trouble code: Atmospheric pressure must exceed 72 kPa and the engine coolant and intake air temperature must exceed -7°C.
|
|
-
|
Engine started. Fuel level below 4 litres. Main relay voltage exceeding 10V. Ignition discharge module combustion signals registered. The number of missing combustion signals is accumulated for each cylinder during 200 engine revolutions. The total number of accepted misfires during 200 engine revolutions is specified in a load and engine speed-dependent matrix.
|
Fault criteria
|
-
|
Number of missing combustions exceeding number of accepted misfires.
|
Dependents
System reaction to a fault
|
-
|
Under high engine loads, closed loop will be blocked while misfiring occurs.
|
OK report
|
-
|
Provided fault criteria are not fulfilled during the driving cycle, the OK report will made when the ignition is turned off and before the engine stops. Two other types of OK report can also be made:
Type 1:
If a diagnostic trouble code has already been stored for the diagnosis and the same running conditions have occurred (coolant temperature above or below 71°C, engine speed ±375 rpm and load ±10%).
Type 2:
If there is no diagnostic trouble code stored for the diagnosis or the same running conditions have not occurred.

Diagnostic help
If any other trouble codes have been generated, check whether fault diagnosis should start with them. Drive the car in the load and engine speed range shown by Freeze Frame. If the engine does not misfire, the trouble code was probably due to the fuel level being too low. Drive the car so that the catalyst diagnosis is performed. If necessary, change the catalytic converter.
If the engine misfires during test driving, conduct a general inspection of connectors and hoses, and then a thorough check of compression, ignition and fuel system.

Checking the wiring
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
