Sti PPP 03 mis fire

[carlhotshot]

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

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 :)

Well got the report back on the car :-(

Body work 9-10

Engine cyclinder 3 has very low compression he's calling quoting to out it right, I shall then have a discussion with the seller !

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
