Just when I thought id sorted the problem out another one starts!

 

Driving along quite happily earlier on when it starts missing one or two cylinders. It's been doing it ever since - really lumpy at low revs, struggling up the scale, and then almost normal over say 4000.

The cars been burning rich recently on and off cos of my BOVs - would this cause a couple of the plugs to gradually carbon up?

wahey 400 posts!!!

if you suspect plugs,pull em out,then try swapping coil packs to see if it improves,also check the connectors for cr@p!-easy things first! :)

Wahey! - the damn PTU connector had worked its way loose :rofl: . Was firing on one cylinder in the end before a quick call to Jeff sorted it. Thanks mate!

lol, PTU and coilpacks are a ****er. I was contemplating an engine rebuild when I get me new tubbies done, thought id lost a couple of cylinders and worked out to be two coilpacks loose :rolleyes:

I'm surprised the damn thing moved at all - it was firing at a rate of three pops per second - followed by a loud BANG! :rofl: :slap: Certainly turned a few heads but for the wrong reasons :(

Once again thanks to Jeff for an instant over-the-phone solution :bow:
