DTC # 242

[328 CI]

I HAVE A 2000 328CI. WITH 80,000 KM ON IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SCANNED IT CODE # 242 CAME UP WHICH IS MISFIRE CYLINDER #5. I DID A TUNE UP, I ALSO REPLACED IGNITION COIL # 5 WITH IGNITION COIL # 1 JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT IT'S THE IGNITION COIL. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. aND WHEN I SCANNED IT THE SAME CODE CAME AGAIN. MISFIRE CYLINDER #5. WHAT DO I DO ?
I NEED HELP, THIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

1) change spark plugs
2) if spark plugs did not solve it which I HIGHLY DOUBT - oxygen sensors (the ones pre catalyst) are something you might want to look into. you are starting to rack up some serious miles there.
Best of luck and sory for the late reply,
Filip

Filip,

He said 80000 Kilometers. I got some serious miles on my car now. I just reached 90 000 miles. No problems so far. :D (Knocking on wood)

90 000 miles :shock:
Wishing you many many many more.
