97 1.2 - misfire problem - vinny vincent
I there chaps i have a 1997 renault clio 1.2 model and its misfiring like chuff at low revs and especially when i floor it . i have changed the H/T leads, air filter, spark plugs and the problem still persists. do you think that dirty fuel injectors are the problem.

{no need to repeat the car make/model in the subject header. The drop down menus take care of that for you. Now edited out of main subject window}

Probably not the injector.(only 1 fitted on this model).Good idea to remove the distributor cap and check condition of the contacts and rotor arm.May find them heavily pitted or oil contaminated.hth
