Seat Cordoba Vario Miss Firing - AlhambraDriver
I am having a problem with my 1998 1.6 Cordoba Vario ( 58k Fsh ) . The car miss fires/hesitates intermittently whilst driving along, particularly up hill. This happens at any temparature and at any road speed. So far my Seat dealer has replaced the HT leads , the distributor cap , drained the fuel tank and replaced the fuel pump relay , all to no avail. Can any one help Pleaseeeeeeee?

This may well be caused by a faulty or dirty MAF sensor.However they are fairly pricey so it would be advisable to ask your dealer to conduct further checks(fault codes,sensor output when problem occurs) or even try a 'known good' MAF sensor.It is a very common failure on these engines.

On a Diesel, I'd say MAF but in this case, I'd suspect faulty HT components. Check/replace in this order - Spark Plugs, HT Leads, Distributor cap & rotor arm. The rotor arms commonly burn out whilst the HT leads are a well known weak point.

Let us know how you get on.
