V6 has been running lumpy and a 'pre-test' ready for the MOT next week had it failing on emissions so thought I would give it some TLC.
Figured since I didn't know the history I would do the plugs as this is a really simple job right? Ha ha ha ha......
Got it stripped down enough to get at the plugs on the passenger side and it looks like the leads are not fully home although I don't have that magic clip thing that the manual shows for doing the job. Never mind I thought, put it back together and do the old paperclip test and see if that says anything....Yeah right....
Fit paperclip, ignition on...1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-9,1-9,1-9hang on a minute it's meant to be 3-1! Start engine and watch again....1-2,1-2,1-2,1-9,1-9,1-9HELP
Anyone got any clues as to what I'm doing wrong, or alternatively what the fault with the engine might be?
