Hi everyone,

Iv done abit of work on my car today, changed the alternator and water pump, and before i started removing anything it was running fine, and then after I finished and put everything back together, I started it and now, for some reason, it seems likes its misfiring on idle but when I drive it, on acceleration, it seems to be normal, like nothing is wrong with it, there isn't any lights on the dash or anything.

Could anyone give a little input in what they thing it could be please.

Did you put the earth back on that goes onto the idle control valve?

Yeah, everything went back in where it was suppose to.

It's ok now, I found out what it was that was making it splutter, one of the injector seals had a little nick in it so the fuel was squirting out through the top of the injector where it joes into the rail, so I put abit of PTFE tape on it for a temporary seal till I get some more.

Cheers for the reply anyway dude :)
