Periklis Member 67 Member For: 14y 5m 16d Posted 01/05/12 08:18 AM Share Posted 01/05/12 08:18 AM Hello all,Past month or so as soon as I wind up boost on the car, more frequently in first and second the car is backfiring loudly and multiple times looses power, then boosts up again... normally does this when its really cold winter air outside, happens about 60% of the time, and more often when the car is still cold..Any suggestions/ideas? It looses power backfires, then idles really sh*t afterwards, untill I give it a decent rev then goes back to normal...Ive replaced the spark plugs afew weeks ago, and the coils replaced about 6 months ago..Any help apreciated,Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Periklis Member 67 Member For: 14y 5m 16d Posted 01/05/12 08:34 AM Author Share Posted 01/05/12 08:34 AM Should any of this come up on the diagnostics though? It went for a service about a month ago, and the diagnostics came up fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly see a missfire code, but unless it was missing at the time, i doubt they would chase it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
