    My peugeot 206 (year 2000, petrol model) has developed a misfire. i was
    driving along fine one minute then it started to misfire.

    symptons: lack of power, poor idling and misfiring (sounds like fuel is
    igniting in the exhaust pipe but not loudly back firing out of the exhaust
    pipe)

    I have re-newed the plugs, checked the valve clearances, compression
    tested the cylinders, checked that all the plugs are sparking.

    Is there anything else i can check to rectify this problem before
    reluctantly taking it to a garage?

    Thx in advance

    Try replacing the coilpack, it's a nasty one, its tendency to breakdown
    at about 70-80.000 km is well-known, the ugly part is that it usually
    fails only when hot, so when you test it out of the engine it seems
    perfect.

    Maybe you can try with a coilpack from a wrecked 206...

  3. Or just re-seat the coilpack - my 206 (at 130,000 km) suddenly
    deveoped similar symptoms and the mechanic "fiddled" and re-
    seated the coilpack (I don't know what exactly he did, I gave up
    fiddling with my cars when chewing gum and fencing wire no
    longer cured problems) and exit problem, still OK after 10,000
    km.

    thank you all very much for your help.
    you were all spot on - it was the coil pack.
