    Hi guys i have a citreon saxo 1.1. My car has a misfire on tick over. when i rev the car or drive it it does run fine except when i take my foot of the throttle and the engine cuts out. Also the engine managment light is on. I have the code read and it says multiple misfire, this does not help me. so far ive cleaned the idle control valve and ive changed the knock sensor. I dont want to keep chucking money at this im not sure if the problem lies with spark plugs or coil pack as the misfire stops when im driving the car although the car does cut out when i take my foot of the thottle i presume this is something to do with the misfire and the car canot idle. Please help!!!

    Coil pack sounds like it wants changing mate.
