    Hi, I am new here and hope I may get some help with this problem.

    Pug 206 suddenly started misfiring, it is a 1100cc engine 4 cylinder,
    4 year old car with only 20,000 miles, also the STOP light has come on
    in centre of Speedo but engine management light is not lit.
    My first thought is plugs which I need a smaller plug spanner to
    change but am sure it may be something a bit more serious, as you can
    smell a bad egg smell, which may mean gasses coming out from
    somewhere.

    Many thanks for any help.

    Regards John

    Coil that will make the car miss so try and get a new one or get the
    coil tested .

    May have identified problem as H.Voltage coil uint which sits on top
    of the engine and has 4 rubber extension tubes one to each S.Plug,
    believe its a common problem with pug206 anyone else had problem £95
    from Andrew Page.

    If the coil packs are as reliable as Fords I would say you are looking
    at the right thing - but always check the basics first such as the
    plugs or ignition leads - the bad smell is from your catalyst due to
    unburned fuel caused by the misfire - don`t keep running it like this
    or you will need a catalyst as well !

    This is quite a common fault and it is best to change the plugs and
    extensions too.
