My z’s dead…been given some advice after my z started to get a rough idle and miss firing wile driving, read the forum and decided to replace sparkplugs.

 

Found on two of the old plugs a lot of oil on the tread of two cylinders. That’s bad?? Piston seals? Replaced the plugs fired up well then after 10min problem started again. Now she just instantly stalls if you don’t put some revs in so poor girl is sitting undriven. She was top notch a week ago :(

 

Could be just electrical one of the coils looked a bit suspect, can of worms like most problems.

 

Any mobile mechanic able to come over to Watford / Garston and give her a diagnostic?

Problem solved oil was caused by slapy oil fill on my part causing a little pool around the plug when I lifted it out looked like the thread was getting oil!

 

Rough running from the temperature sensor at the front of the engine. It was badly corroded causing the engine to think it was about to over heat then really cold about 5 times a second replaced the sensor and job done smooth again!

 

Rough idle check that connector!

 

Shes alive !

Glad to hear it mate, did you sort it yourself?
