i have just got a new 6r.. its done 15k now and is nearly 2 years old...

so the problem, every now and then the car seems to what feels like a miss fire.. it just has very little power, and feels like its running on 2 rather than 3 cylinders.. some times it will be fine for days then all of a sudden start doing it for about 30mins..

just wondering if any one has any ideas or experience with this?

p.s there are no engine lights on or anything on the dash..

all thoughts welcome

Ive had a similar issue, acceleration sometimes was hesitant,, felt like a misfire. Checked the coil pencils (packs) and there was a burnt residue in the well, and the rubber on a coil itself cracked.
