Hello
A friend of mine has a BMW E87 with an N43B20 engine and has a misfire problem. The car sometimes has power, but sometimes it noticeably loses power. Occasionally, it stalls while idling. No errors appear. I once had a DTC 2a26 "Catalytic converter, conversion in stratified charge mode" error, which appeared after resetting the engine adaptation and driving about 50 km. The injectors, coils, and spark plugs were replaced – the mechanic did all of that. I also replaced the engine wiring harness, unfortunately with a used one. Perhaps someone has experienced this problem and could offer some insight. There are no misfire errors, but they are visible when connecting the app to my phone, and most often, it's on cylinder 4.
