   Once warming up engine starts to misfire
   
   Are the lambdas a known issue?

   Theres 2 types of coil packs on saxo`s early 1`s have a rectangle block which bolts on at the right hand side of the head ,later 1`s have individual coils in a row which fit over the spark plugs.

   not all mk2s have the overhead coil packs, 1.0/1.1 single point injection engines have the one on the end of the head, HFX multi point injections have the overhead one
