the 8 was working fine until i went to the shop turned it off, came back to the car flooded got it jump started now it started to run very lumpy and cel came on, and cut out about 50 meters up the road, got towed home changed plugs but still the same takes forever to start but lumpy as hell as if ints only on 3 plugs anyone ideas what the problem is.

 

What did they do to it?
Let me rephrase that.
Why did you take it to the shop?

 

not the motor shop the grocers

 

So you went to go shopping for groceries turned off the car when you came back it was flooded? You have a Cel have you had the code read? The idle is lumpy and remains lumpy?

 

Need more info on your car. Like Yr mileage, and what maintenance has been done and when.

 

its got 55.000 miles on it full service history diagnostics came up with multiple misfire nothing more.

 

yeh the code read multiple misfire remains lumpy when i eventually get it started

 

That means that you have some bad ignition coils. It happened to me a couple months back, multiple misfire rough as hell, and hard as hell to get started sometimes and hard to keep running.

 

By the way guys, he's in the UK.
