Am i right in thinking that if i've got a faulty dis/coil pack it WON'T show up on a paper clip test?
For those of u that havn't been following my saga of a misfiring/stuttering/running rough V6, after replacing & testing most things that could be the cause, the only thing that hasn't been checked is the used coil pack bought by the previous owner    but i still have the original which will also be tested

Can the pack be tested whilst on the car or does it have to be taken off  :-/

If the packs ok the final test to be done is with a Tech 2 to test the injector cut off
Failing all this i'll have to sell it as spares & repairs on ebay cos its the elite model with a good set of 17'' alloys & new rear tyres (any idea what i should put it in for as its got a 10mth MOT & taxed till beg Sept?)

I very nearly suggested that you drive it over to me, dump it, have a few days R and R and then I will drive you to the airport! However you sound like you have exactly the same problem as me so pls don't!!

I have just found a rubber hose from a vacuum valve  to the SAI pump between the rad and the silver air con pipe(?) with a big split. Took it off and blocked the valve off and not a blind bit of difference. Still misfiring but revs well.

Don't give up. Is there another forum member near you who could help? A second pair of eyes can work wonders.

Mmmm nice idea & cud do with a bit of fun in the sun 

But i'll persevere until i've exhausted all options   

Have had the original dis pack tested & that's fine so now need the one on the car tested but would like to know if it can be done in situ  :-?

Anyone know if it can be done to save time
