Codes p0303 p0135 and engine light if i drive 500yards with the missfire stop lock the girl up unlock restart all is fine. all earths seem to be in good condition the car is dual fuel LPG so it starts on petrol

I just found a perished vacuum pipe at the front of the engine. Replaced with silicon tube will have to wait and see if this has cured the problem

Hi syseng,
Did you clear codes after replacing sensor and plugs?

If so, and the codes reappear, then I'd check resistance of coil(s) and wire(s).

Hi HappyWagon

thanks for the reply

Yes all codes cleared , i am sort of thinking wires ,it a starnge fault ,the car can go for weeks months the throw a code again after a few good starts the codes clear but its always bank1 sensor 1 which is a new sensor i have two weeks off in mid august i will look more into it , i might give the egr a good clean and look at the air pump ,as i believe this is connected to faster exhaust warm up when starting. its not a fault i can reproduce so testing is a little bit of a problem , the last time it happend the motor started fine i drove 200 yrds and the Cel came on and misfired i stopped turned the motor off locked the car unlocked restarted all was fine .
after a restart the motor runs fine
