carlhotshot Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi guys and girls I have been browsing this site for a while now but this is my first post :-) I am looking at buying a 03 blobeye sti PPP with 55k full history very good condition. BUT the seller has warmed me that it through up a mis fire fault code p0303. It doesn't actually misfire has only happens twice in 6 months allegedly I have sent it to a jap specialist for full dyno run with diagnostic, also including compression check. So to summaries is it work buying ? Many thanks Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi and Welcome mate For a misfire can be a few thing's. But I would risk it might be a dirty spark plug to sensors or a bad coil pack. But with that mileage and PPP and if the price is right I wouldn't worry about it as long as it's the car you want :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Welcome to the forum - the result will put you in a good negotiating position if you really want the car then as you are fixing the cylinder you could do some other upgrades - baffle sump uprated oil pump etc and also address why it failed in the first place then you have peace of mind in a sorted engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
