Fuel pressure ok? Maybe the fuel pump can't get the right pressure up quick enough for first? Or bad earth.

Right then, I think I have finally sorted the missfire and the management light flickering. I have been tinckering with all of the sensors and the loom for a while now. I finally had a breakthrough on the Mig Website and had a look at the wiring the the CTS. Low and behold below the outher rubber cover only one wire was connected. I have since found a new plug off an old loom and rewired the plug. For the 3 seconds it would fire before I had run out of fuel, the engine sounded smooth and miss free. I now have to get some petrol as all I am getting out of the fuel rail is air at the mo! that will teach me for not wiring up the fuel guage yet! LOL.

But if you have a miss fire problem on the C20XE I would deffo take all the protective covers off the plugs and check for coroded wiring and or broken wires. The looms are old now and this will become a more common problem like it has with the Series One RST. I should know I used to own one of them too!

Try looking at the sensors as I did above.
