Xsara Picasso missfire

Post by Vuk1987 »

Guys, I have a bad missfire that has gotten worse and worse.
Error codes on Lexia are
P1336 permanent
P1337 permanent
P0313 permanent (might be due to using lpg as main fuel)
P1339 permanent

I also did a live measurements, but video is too large to attach it.

My question is, should I just go for the ignition coil change, or there are other things I should look for before that?
Spark plugs are some year or two old, with no big mileage.
I have change ignition coil pack some 3 years ago.

The car is Xsara Picasso 2006 year of production, 1.6 16v petrol engine TU5JP4 or NFU is, I believe, the engine mark.

Thanks in advance.

I've searched on the internet a bit. I will measure the compression first.

Measured the compression, it was 10 bar on cylinder 1 and 4, it was 7 bar on cylinder 2 and 3. I used cheap Chinese measuring device so I guess there is a possibility it's wrong. But, the engine should be able to run with that compression, although it's far from perfect.
I changed the ignition coil, but I don't notice any difference.
I'm going to erase errors now and watch the situation from now on.
No luck for now

Well, there actually is a difference. Check engine light went off on it's self, and the car seems to run better. But the sound is still awful.
