badger1 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Took the car over to andyp tonight for him to have a look and he sorted it!!!! I have to say thanks to all who offered to help me. Andy continued even in the rain and despite my complete lack of knowledge he diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Top man in my books totally selfless even though he has never met me. I hope that I can return the favour some day. I've waited a long time for this and there are still jobs to do but I'm really happy....oh and so is the car...tail happy that is!!! Rob :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: PS I need a coil pack!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyP Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The funny thing is that this almost defeated me, I was starting to get desperate to understand why it was running on 5 until I noticed that the wire to coil pack number 6 seemed longer than usual. Who'd a thought that someone would transpose the coilpack and O2 connectors !?!?!?! The thing that really fooled me was that engine revs increased when the O2 connector was put on the coilpack - now how the hell does that happen ? Any why on earth do Nissan use plugs that are interchangeable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
