Hello friends,
I need your help and advice.
I have opel corsa c 1.0 2003 Z10xep with 3 cylinder. At cold start works perfect after about 30 mins when engine warm enough, I get the engine warning light with two OBD codes P0300 P0302. Cylinder 2 misfire detected.
I replaced the spark plugs, ignition coil and swapped injectors places.
The misfire is always in Cylinder 2.
Also we checked the timing chain, is perfect.
I did compression test:
Cylinder 1: 145 psi
Cylinder 2: 130 psi
Cylinder 3: 150 psi

Can anyone please help me?
what should I do?

Best regards

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical information is somewhat limited. I do have a question. Have you checked the crankshaft position sensor? When these sensors are starting to go bad, often times heat will cause issues. Take a look through these links. The first describes the sensor, second are common symptoms, and the last shows in general how one is replaced.

Let me know if the symptoms discussed seem to mirror what you are experiencing.

Take care,
Joe

Thank you for your replay.
I have not checked it, but I changed the camshaft sensor but no thing changed.
I forgot to tell you, when the cylinder 2 stops, the car makes white smoke also.

Welcome back:

First, you are very welcome. I just hope I can help.

Is the white smoke from the exhaust? If so, it sounds like you have a blown head gasket that is allowing coolant to enter cylinder 2. Take a look through this link. It explains how to check for a bad head gasket.
