00 1.8,16v engine misfire - whitie
Renault Laguna 1.8,16v,bought the car knowing the clutch was slightly slipping and engine idle slightly low,since put a new clutch in the engine has been plagued by a misfire that would put any sa80 to shame,changed the lambda sensor(bosch),4 individual pencil packs(the german ones),new battery,oil and filters,compression test (all ok)had a diagnosis test and came back ok,its had timing belt and pulleys too but still the misfire continues to kangaroo hop down the road when under load between 1000/2000 and when throttling on when i a high gear a poping in the engine can be heard,been told it could be the throttle position switch or the ECU thats causing the problem,need to know as this car costing me a fortune and buggin me that i can't get to the bottom of it,any one with the similar problems that may be able to advise,much obliged.
