T3 Caravelle misfire problem

Post by Caitlin »

Hi. I have a 1991 Caravelle 2.5i (AAY engine) with a extreme misfire problem when its reaching operating temperature. Kombi running bad and cuts off temo gauge not in red but giving me misfire. I changed coil, distributor, ignition module, Fuel distributor, Plugs, leads, Fuel pump, airfilter and also had a autolek lok at the wiring but he is also stump cause alternator not over or under charging. At some point coil got hot or luk hot. but not winning. What can cause this. Kombi seems to be hot at engine side but gauge showing normal so realy frustrated now. Hope for some good news.

Start by checking out (testing) the temp sensor to ensure that the temperature it indicates is what the water is.
Do a compression test on all cylinders and check that compression values are close to each other.
