2002 318ti N42 Misfire at Idle

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

my mum owns a BMW 318ti, N42 engine. It is misfiring while at idle. Check engine light is on, got it scanned at my work, it is coming up with 3 errors, Motronic ME 9.2 (4). 

 

I was wondering if anyone had an idea on common problems with this? I have attached a picture of what was picked up with the scanner. Sadly couldn’t get exact engine fault codes, only this.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I understand now that the N42 is a terrible engine, and this car isn’t good. Wish I had of known that before she bought the car!

That fault report is of no help at all. There are many things that can cause this. The most common is a faulty ignition coil. Looking at the report the vehicle has quite a few issues which may have been introduced. I suggest you get it checked more thoroughly.
