X-Type Misfire
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I live in Qatar and have an X Type 2002.
It is running rough/misfiring, and often the warning message "Cruise Not Available" appears (the cruise control has never worked since I bought it 7 years ago!). It is slightly worse when it is cold. If I try to accelerate too quickly the engine loses power until I lift my foot slightly.
My friendly local mechanic has looked at plugs, injectors and I have replaced all 4 Oxygen sensors.
Has anyone any ideas? Many thanks

You really need to get an OBD reader and pull the codes and look them up here in the search function. Guessing will get you nowhere fast and cost lots of money. If MAF was replaced, unless it was a long time ago, there's no need to clean it.
Type of engine (petrol/diesel), size, year helps, too. Any lights on the dash illuminated?

I will see if I can get an OBD reader.
I suspect that my mechanic replaced the wrong sensor (coolant temperature rather than MAF) as he has quoted the wrong part number. Theses things happen here in Qatar!!
Car is petrol, 3 litre, 2002 model.

Mike
