Title: URGENT QUESTION 2-4-6 coil pack
Post by: tigers_gonads on 15 February 2014, 11:49:57

Just picked up my bits for the cam covers / oil cooler, pulled away and half the pigin engine stopped working  >:(
Same on petrol and lpg.

Plugged in  :-X  code reader to find misfire cylinders 2 / 4 / 6 and random misfire (can't remember the codes)

Question is ............... do these coil packs tend to just go pop and wipe out all 3 sparks in one go or is it a gradual thing ?

Is they anything else it may be before I throw my toys totally out of the pram and buy a coil pack ?

I *think* they have a common 12 volt supply and individual connections to the 0v/ground/earth terminal from the ECU. If the supply is missing then all three coils will stop working.

Spot on Andy  :y
Last time I was under there, the plastic cage on the plug fell apart  ::)
The plug had worked its way loose and had fell out  :-[

I'll glue it in when I do the covers / oil cooler next week  :y

Thanks  :)
