Thats not good :( ... 2.6 is OBDII I think .. so using this site
http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/
I make your list
0300 - Random Multiple misfires
0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire
0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire
0305 - Cylinder 5 misfire
0170 - Fuel trim Malfunction Bank 1
0173 - Fuel trim Malfunction Bank 2
0302 - Cylinder 2 misfire
0306 - Cylinder 6 misfire
I'm guessing wet electrics perhaps ?? :(
-
So need to check the DIS packs?
-
Further research has found this .. which may or may not be relevant ... with the fuel trim codes as well ..
Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.
but I don't know anywhere near enough to advise ... :(
-
I would be suspecting an airleak as its unlikely that both DIS packs would fail simultaneously.
Its also worth popping a coil pack out to check for oil in the wells (there shoudn't be any!).
-
Well I know that the passenger side DIS pack is/was on its way out, which was diagnosed at Keswick by Marks DTM, waer had also at some point got into one of the plug wells.

Water ingress is a possible, coil pack was past its best but, cant see both failing at once!
Check the large plastic brake servo pipe for damage (runs round the rear of the engine)
-
Mark been on the phone to Mike, on his car are the vac pipes that go to the brake servo pipe the same as mine? on mine there are three vac pipes that come from the servo pipe from two nipples with 90 degree bent connector pipes on that brake servo pipe... he has two, mike also says there is a vac pipe that runs under his plenum to the throttle body but i don't have one of those..... he says that this vac pipe is not connected could this be the problem?
Why would a vac pipe put up those codes?
-
Have reconnected the vac pipe that runs under plenum and connects to throttle body, very short though :-/

BTW will have 1 less vac pipe, as not SAI fitted :)

Brake servo pipe looks fine, few marks on it but would assume thats normal.

Vac line not connected is going to allow unmetered air into the plenum. Can you get the codes cleared and try it with the vac pipe reconnected Mike? Anyone local with an OBDII lead that can read/clear for you?

Take that as a no then. Might be an idea to invest in one of those ELM code readers like Entwood has. I imagine it would easily pay for itself against a code read at VX rates.

The one Entwood has is a cable that plugs into his laptop send him a PM I'm sure he will be able to advise you. Don't know if the cheapo I have will talk to a 2.6 as I've never tried it.

Thats far posher than the one I have .. and probably better as well !!
This is the cheap version that I have ...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OBD-II-ELM327-USB-Tool-Interface-Scanner-CAN-BUS-V-1-2a_W0QQitemZ370084099788QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370084099788&_trkparms=72%3A1121|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
It put out the light for the Emissions problem .. but they were still there with the "pedal trick", had to have the memory cleared by Tech2. Also took about 18 days to arrive if memory serves.
If I were to be buying now I'd go for the GS500 ... in fact I'm tempted anyway ...

Yeah I know, did go to buy that but had problems with paypal >:(

Well I bought 2 new DIS packs, those arrived on Wednesday, not used the car all week, changed over both the DIS packs yesterday, took the car for a spin round a few blocks and have the power back, back to normal now, no walking to work next week :y...........

Was there any visible signs of damage or cracks on the coil packs Mike? Any visible reason for the failures?
Ps well done on your second place by the way.

Would this also work fine on pre facelifts? Would it have the connections or are they the same on the facelift anyway??

Yeah, 1-3-5 connecting rubbers were split at the bottoms, signs of water at some stage getting into 5, almost the same on 2-4-6, will post some pics up of the old ones. Oh and thanks :y

Questions: [I have a 2.6 V6]
1. Dis Packs; are they the black gizmo block of 3 that sits on top of the plugs?
2. Where did you order from
3. Are they genuine Vx
4. Are the prices using a Tradeclub Card
5. Do prices vary much
I'm starting to think my Username should've been dumbo not gwa :-[
