    My 2003 1.1 Desire misfires for about 1 minute when started from cold and then runs great. The diagnostic tool gives "Missfire on cylinder 3".
    Do any of you guys and girls have any ideas on what the most likely cause is please? The car has done 25k, has probably got the origional plugs, etc. and has the iginition system that has a HT coil on top of each plug. Thanks.

    check the plugs as above, also check the ht lead carefully as it may be arcing out on number failing that coil pack is fubar.
