Got a strange problem with my 7. car runs sweet day to day but whenever it sees a motorway decides that it will go into limp. Had a nightmare 13 hour journey to Alton Towers the other week. 6 breakdowns 3 rac call outs and a very miffed mrs and 13 year old son sat on hard shoulder or in garage.
1st time it happened a few months back I was luckily near Indigo and they said probably spark plugs as they were in a sorry state.
Anyway it happened again this time luckily near Chevron motorsport in Stafford and they replaced coils anyway still happened again on the way home.
Car goes into limp mode then backfires.
codes pulled say random misfire and 1 garage pulled code p0003 which I think is fuel pressure problem.
do you think it could be a mapping problem or something else, any advice or ideas would be really welcome
Thanks
