I got a 2.0 non hpi D9 and its misfiring when its idiling its fine when you accerlerate but when you come to a stop its just sounds a bit rough. The engines ticks over around 600-650 rpm mark i dont know if this has to do with anything o its fine when its cold because the engine idiling is higher :shock:

Is it actually misfiring, or is it just a lumpy idle?

Hi,

Was there no solution to this ?

My 2L petrol GTX D9 (47k) has the same problem....

Almost like its coughing only at tickover rpm. It can be hesitant pulling away but once above 1000-1500 rpm its fine.
Seems to be a little smoother once the engine reaches normal running temp.

I had the "Anti Pollution" light on 3 weeks ago but it has not come on again...
Also think my cat rattles a bit on over run....

Any ideas..?

Cheers

Worth slopping some injector cleaner in the tank?

Have a quick read of this:

It's for the D8 but it may still be relevant.
