   Engine management light has came on 4 times over the past 2 weeks, each time bringing up codes, misfire 1 and 3 and aging cat.
   
   Had the cat/lambda checked - all fine
   
   Coilpack and plugs replaced
   
   Came on again this morning, drove like a tractor lacking power, lumpy idle etc. But this is intermittent and I started it up again 10 minutes ago - drove fine.
   
   Garage that has been dealing with it reckons it's an electrical fault, either the wiring or the ECU itself.
   
   What can I do? Been recommended to take it to Citroen and get it checked there and poss a new ECU from them?

   Do the part numbers have to match? mine have a completely different set of numbers & letters.
   
   Confuzzled here
