I have a 1996 Estima 2.4 When it starts it is "missing"/running on 3 cylinders? then seems to come right but can be gutless at times and is getting hot. I have had the radiator flushed, thermostat replaced and head gasket checked. When it gets hot if I accelerate and put the heater on the temperature goes back to normal. Also strangly enough the hand brake light has not worked for about 3 years thought the bulb was blown and suddenly it has started coming on when I stop while driving but not when the hand brake is applied
Hi!
I think you missed checking a couple of things more.
1.- Water Pump
2.- Temp. Sensor
3.- Radiator Fan
4.- Timing
5.- Spark Plugs
6.- Spark Plug Wires
7.- Vacumm Leaks
8.- Fuel system (Pump pressure, injectors, leaks)
9.- Electrical System
10.- Check for even compression on all cilinders.
I hope this help you find your problem
Good Luck.
