Car is running really rough misfiring "popping" out exhaust on idle (similar to leads arcing) motor badly shuddering under acceleration then runs fine then coughs and splutters, then engine light flashes, engine light stays on, turns off , car runs ok, then starts playing up again, ok so far a service had all coils replaced and new spark plugs .default code said cylinder 3 misfire .............help please , 2012 95,000km .......

Thank u k31 , I'm hearing a consistent click noise every 10 seconds underneath the car on idle near cat almost the same as the click on some cars when the air con comes on ,on some cars........ 

 

Funny enough this all happened after driving on a dirt road the other day......... Coincidence I'm not sure

a click near the cat could just be a collapsed cat... but could be a tick from further up the exhaust... is the tick coming from near the turbo itself? if it is, it's a head-manifold gasket or a turbo to dump gasket.

 

I doubt it's related to driving on a dirt road unless you were using it to smash the limiter (which can cause timing chain/guide issues).

where are you located?

going to the right place is probably a better alternative than returning to the place that forced you to ask on here in the first place.
