You could have a plug or plug lead breaking down intermittently under load and causing it to drop a cylinder , both need checking . If not that , check / clean MAF

The car has MAP. There is no MAF.You could have a plug or plug lead breaking down intermittently under load and causing it to drop a cylinder , both need checking . If not that , check / clean MAF
Yesterday it showed issues with the immobiliser as well. After the engine was stopped as before, the lights on the immobiliser went out and there was not a way to key in the code. After I switched off and on again, I could key in the code even though it was not necessary since it was green the light.
