guys

zed had been running on 5

i have a back problem ( kills me to bend) took it to a garage they fitted new plugs,

when i got it back it appears to be running on 4 like a tractor

loud clicking noises seems to be 4 & 5 thats off,

real sickener ive checked that the coil packs are all secure

any ideas i could try

cant get it to a specialist (diff garage) for two weeks

 

 

cheers guys

Try checking the injectors , you should get a resistance of 10-14 Ohm across the connectors.

I would speak to the garage and ask them if they touched/disconnected anything else while working on your car

It could be dodgy coil-pack connectors! Especially if they have fitted new plugs as they would of had to remove these to gain access, so it could be a broken connector clip or green gunge on the pins inside the plugs.

As you have a bad back I'd suggest getting a friend to remove the plug connectors on all of them and see if they need a good clean and check for broken clips.

 

I would come and give you a hand bud, but it's a hell of a long way ;)

 

HTH and best of luck

Is the PTU connect firmly attached. If you lost one and then another it could be working it's way free.

Ditto check connections. its normally the problem . Injector/coil pack / power trans.

i had a similar issue with mine . turned out to be injector connections .

guys again i thank you all for taking the time , i will do as you suggest

 

many thanks

bob on, i did this turned out my connecters were made out of blue playdoh, rewired and made new connecters (really anal) lol and it never misses a beat, ppl tend to find after they'v done plugs or injecters that they get a missfire when really its just shite connecters due to moving them?!?!
