Really needs a proper test spark plus then.

Easy to get coil pack out on the 16V units

I unplugged the EGR...supposed to be a potential problem on these...made no difference, does that mean its goosed?? Or do you need to something specific to test it??

Took the coil pack off...looks new, no oil etc in plug wells, clean contacts all round

Unplugging the EGR wont tell you anything as if they are stuck open, then there stuck open

Ok will get pics if possible tomorrow of the pack and plugs...pack looks mint condition though...going to take the throttle body off while I'm there and give it a good spray and soak with carb cleaner as it look pretty mucky...

Ok took the plugs out and they are black and seriously coated...and the wrong type...so replaced them.

Cleaned throttle body and breather pipes...

running much better but still a bit of a misfire...

Also cut out once slowing into 1st on a corner...and occasionally badly misfires in 1st...

OK another update...took the EGR off thinking about blanking it off and the sensor bit was covered in silty black powdery stuff...so cleaned that up too...

Would the wrong plugs cause loads of silt build up after just 2k do you think?

Also apart from plugs and EGR what else might need a clean up??

Ok this is weird...took the plugs out again this morning to pour in a little neat redex into the wells...plugs 2,3 & 4 were nice and black as expected as the engine will be pretty mucky still...plug 1 is totally clean...so does that mean its not sparking at all?? If so does this suggest the coil pack is faulty??
