I went away for Easter, and due to taking the dogs with us, Trouble was full, so I had to take Pickle too.

Well, the CEL came on straight away.. scangauge gave me 1 of the 3 codes, which was a P0300... Generic Misfire detected...

I bought a new scanner today... and got the following

P0300 - Generic Misfire Detected
P0455 - Generic Evaporative System Leak Detectec (Gross Leak/No Flow)
P0307 - Cylinder 7 Misfire Detected

Explains the 15mpg highway I was getting...

I also met up with [MENTION=61294]vroomzoomboom[/MENTION] and took him for a spin...

Good news though, my truss arrived

i just noticed 007 sits as high as pickle *snicker snicker.
good to meet up with you again si, and thanks for the needed parts. yea, i know pickle runs way better then it did here. it always sucks when you get to find your "problems" on a road trip. however, you will kill two birds with one stone on the misfire problem.
the evap code hopefully wont be a ***** to find.

I ain't looking for it tonight... I'm doing laundry instead... the joys of going away.. hopefully next time you see her, she'll be rocking long arms and 37s

I haven`t driven Pickle since the end of April, as the Mustang has had plates on it... so, today, I decided to check out the reason for the misfire, cylinder 7, I pulled the plug.... and while it was oily on the outside, the important end seemed to be ok.... so... to be safe, I ran a different plug and I still have a misfire under load...

So, I`m hoping it`s just a crappy wire... That`s next to check.. but first... .Lunch

[delexploder]

Nice!

 

[blueka]

well, finally picked up my supercharger at the weekend (thanks [MENTION=61294]vroomzoomboom[/MENTION]) and after rolling over the 200k kms mark, I got home and worked out that Pickle returned 20mpg combined.

I also did this
