hi i have a 1.4 peugeot 206 1999
i recently had a mot and it failed on emissions so i had a cat and lamber sensor replaced with new parts
i then returned it to the garage. while they were warming the cat up the drove it 1/2 mile and the car went down on to 3 cylinders(im noy blaming the garage these things happen). i was advised to check plugs and change the coil pack, which i did but didnt make it any better. iv had the cam belt checked and the valves also the compression test was fine aswell any ideas of what it maybe?????? or even better how i can rectify the situation.

The ecu should not be getting red hot ?? if there is a fault in the ecu .. this could be the reason for misfire if it is sending out wrong signals ,, you may be as well getting the dealer to check the ecu out ??
