Just thought you guys would be interesting in this, as I couldn't find a resolution to a number of similar posts on this one.
I have an early 2014 85bhp TwinAir, has been fine generally. Did some fast motorway travelling back from Valencia on Saturday evening and the car started to misfire and judder under acceleration around the 3500 to 4000rpm range.
Didn't happen at all in eco mode, just hard load, acceleration in normal mode.
Car is currently at 24500miles and was serviced at 20000miles ish at a Fiat Specialist.
I keep some basic spares on hand, so on Sunday the spark plugs were changed... the only difference this made (which was strange) was the misfire moved slightly down the rev range to 3000-3500rpm.
I had one new coil pack on hand so this was tried in each cylinder and the fault seems to be on the coil pack in cylinder 1.
Coil pack now replaced and the car seems fine... I will give it an oil change this week as generally this engine has seen them every 6000miles
