V70 T5 misfire
Happy holidays chaps.
I've been floating around for a while, but seen as the V70 never caused me any issues (until now), I rarely post. I was unsure whether to stick this in the lpg or V70 forum, but if i got it wrong, please move the post Mr mods.. I have a 2000 MK2 V70 T5 with an ESGI lpg kit that i fitted nearly a year ago. Things had been running excellently and covered 30k miles until last week when i developed a slight misfire under heavy load with P0302 occasionally thrown for Cyl2 misfire. It only misfires on gas, perfect on petrol. After checking the maps and fuel trims, all seeemed fine and dandy (lpg map follows the petrol map perfectly with fuel trims at 5% long term), so out of interested I swapped the injector (as I have 3 spare, all new) and went for a drive. Nothing changed, still a misfire on cyl2. I then swapped the coil pack and plug from cyl2 to cyl1 and went for another drive but still P0302 code is thrown. The misfire grew steadily worse throughout the day and so I pulled all the hoses off and checked for leaks and found nothing on the gas or Volvo pipework. Wiring also looks fine and all earths have been cleaned. Now here's the kicker, in the ESGI software I have the option to run individual cylinders on petrol or lpg and so I switched cyl2 onto petrol and the other 4 cyls on gas and the car runs perfectly smooth, if a little down on power. Any combination of fuel/cylinders caused misfire unless cyl2 runs petrol, then all is good. So, I'm guessing it's time to dig out the compression tester and look for a possible imbalance between cylinders but while I try and find the bugger, can anyone suggest anything i've missed? The car is running: ESGI ecu Magic jet reducer set to 1.3bar and running both lpg outlets Valtek type 30 (3 ohm) injectors drilled to either 3mm, or 3.2mm (i forget which at the minute) Car has covered 170k miles, the last 30k on lpg in the last 10/11 months. Thanks in advance of any suggestions.. Ads |
