I have been getting coded off and on for the better part of 7 or 8 months. its a 96disco. the codes are P0300 random multiple misfire and p1316 excessive emissions due to misfire i have changed the plugs, changed the wires twice, now i have magnecors. I am fearing the need of a valve job.
what else should i check, before i have the engine torn into? and what can i check myself without incurring the dreaded diagnostic fees. I'm not trying to downplay or discredit the worth and valuie of a good professional rover mechanic. I am just not sure i can afford one, especially since i have a weeding to pay for in less than 4 weeks.
further compounding my headaches is the fact that i have to pay the yearly registration fees and have the California Smog check done. I am pretty confifdent i am going to fail the test based on my "excessive emissions" code.
i may be up shits creek without a paddle but if anyone can ofer up somehelpful suggestions i would appreicate it.
p.s. Vive Le Discoweb, glad it is back up. I dont think i could have gone another week, without discussing my mechanical woes or reading others.
