Hi there...

Thank you for your reply & further info, that helps greatly..

In that case, its a coincidence that you have a misfire at all - and on the same cylinder.... in that I very much doubt you have failed piston rings on your replacement engine...

But the engine ignition / fueling / management system could have been the cause of the demise - so this needs investigating now -

The first thing to check is if you have a spark on that cylinder - spark plug.. So check for that .. If you dont - you have suspect ignition coil there...or wiring to it . ( you could have a fault with the ecu - but you need to check that first - inc spark plug of course )

If you do have a spark - then the chances are you have a failed / faulty fuel injector on that cylinder... you can check for power to that injector - or you can swap it for another if you have one. If not - swap the injector from that cylinder to another - say no. 1...and see if you now have a misfire on no.1.. If you do, you know the injector is the fault. If you still have a misfire on no.4... you then need to check the mechanics of the engine- checking for any inlet system air leak and so on - and you would be best to do a compression test too...just in case.. you have to do it to rule it out if nothing else...

But work though as above to trace the cause of your fault down.

You could have wiring / connection faults too in the engine wiring loom to the coil and injectors etc - so bear that in mind / check these things too... Working through as above, you will trace this down...

Kind Rgds- MIKE.
