Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My astra 2004 1.4 has a intermittent misfire, in cylinder 1. Its a lot worse when first starting when going up hill underload. The eml will start to flash and the car sometimes cuts out, when turning the engine on its sometimes a bit slow to start like the battery is a bit flat. Once the car's going it drives fine. i have changed the coil pack and plugs and put injector cleaner through it, it worked for a while then came back again. Any idea's????

it could be the egr that could be the problem best to get the codes read fist to be sure

You need to establish whats causing the missfire, a code read should point in the right direction, with a look at the live data

Thanks for that but the egr is banked off, and the only code that comes up is 0301, which is cylinder 1 misfire, but it doesnt tell you what is causing the misfire. any more help would be much appreciated.
