misfiring in low gear

Post by mikep »

Citroen Xantia 1.8i Dimension 1996 Petrol Hatchback

The car has started to mis-fire (stutter) at low revs in low gears and on hills. Seems to drive okay in higher revs and higher gears. Can anyone suggest what the problem is ?

Mike, it could be so simple as plugs or leads past their best. You're experiencing "misfire under load" and that usually indicates a spark issue. Injector problems aren't that common in my exposure to EFI cars, although the possibility is often flagged.
