Right after a coldstart, my Smart is npt running on more than two cylinders.After some seconds, the third is coming slowly and then I can go.I assumed its becasue of my 100% E85 running even if its now summer (which is not so much varmer this year though...).
After I fixed an automated "cold start resistance", the problem is much less then before.But..two times now, I have had the misfiring coming back with also warm engine.Its a bit like also loss of power, and the first time, I thought it was because of low fuel level, since it was cured after filling up.Today it happened again though, with full tank.
Seems to start on a slight upphill and can go away if I take of the foot from the gaspedal.I stopped and restarted, and there was no problem again, however it came back one time, and then I activated a forced switch for running the fuel pump without relay.
Nothing happened first, but after some 5 seconds, the misfinrg went away for good, and I got home safely.Any of the times, I didnt push it like I sometimes do, and it was not very warm outside or in the engine compartment (highway in about 100 km/h on flat road)
Any ideas about the reasons? I have replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump seems to work stable at least when on my direct switch.Is it the fuel pump anyway, or the relay?
It feels really a bit like too little fuel, just like after those coldstarts.Or just a ignition coil on its start to go?How do I find the misfiring one the easiest way?No check engine or other lamp lit.
