I was driving yesterday and something happened, it seemed to misfire and feels like its onli running on 3 cylinders. I presumed it was the spark plug of ignition coil....but, i changed the spark plugs and nothing changed. I tried to find out whick clyinder wasnt running and this is the bit that has puzzled me. When i dissconected spark plug one, it wouldnt run, when i diconected the second one it ran exactly like it had been, then the same on the 3rd, then on the fourth it would not run at all again.......so it seems to be running fine on 1 and 4.....but does not want to run both 2 and 3?????? I am now thinking this is something electronic ie.e map sensor???? ecu fault???? I have it booked in for a diagnostic with citroen on tuesday, but need to use the car and would prefer to find a fault quickly and be able to sort it chealy if possiable......thanx in advance, Sam
