Guest Alexis Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 My R-reg 2.3 petrol Galaxy has developed a misfire. After driving on light throttle for any time (eg in town), it misfires when accelerating harder through 2500 - 3000 rpm. It started with the occasional hiccup but is getting more severe. Has anyone had a similar problem (and cured it !) ?Thanks. Quote
Guest MATT Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 my old one had this trouble, think it was spark plugs, slod it soon after though :D Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Most common cause of misfires on the 2.3 are the coil packs, remove the plastic/metal cover, easy to spot has FORD DOHC 23000 16V written on it :D held in place by ten bolts, under this are the coil packs, two of! each coil pack powers two plugs, it sits on top of one and has a lead to the other one these are a fairly common failure :D Quote
