Check out this mess:
* Ignition coil replaced (second 1.8 coil after replacing those crappy 2.0 coils three times)
* Spark plugs cleaned and then replaced with long reach plugs
* Seafoamed the tank and intake system
* New air filter
* Cleaned EGR valve
* Replaced the fuel pump and filter(screen)
* Wires are about a year old.
No hesitation until I hit half a tank and then Misfire Cylinder One. Plus it hesitates on hills and curves. If I fill up the tank the problem goes away.
A friend owns a shop and stated that the injector doesn't know how much fuel I have so if it was bad I would have issues from get go. I say this because I thought about swapping the injector from cyl one to two.
It has over 180K miles so I always smell a hint of oil when I park. When I have had the hesitation is smells a lot stronger, to the point that you want to pop the hood and expect a mess everywhere. No leaks other than my oil pressure sending unit that leaks a little but that can't be the issue as I am holding solid pressure.
Any suggestions?
Pump and filter are new, maybe 400 miles on them.
I am thinking either:
* #1 injector
* fuel gauge sending unit(the stopper on the fuel pump) because it shows few issues until it gets at or below half a tank
* fuel pressure regulator because the acceleration isn't up to par throughout the power band
* Or drive it off of a cliff
