hi all got a problem with my 2l no spark on two plugs have taken coil pack out is there any test with meters you can do to see if its failed it was running fine then started to miss fire any clues thanxs

[albitz]

I dont know of any home test,might be worth swapping with one from a scrappy or similar to see if it cures the problem. :-/

[alexandjen]

Is the EML on, any stored codes?

[prr]

no eml on just a miss fire new plugs and leads a few months ago

[prr]

well its to dark now but ive put it back togehter and it still runs lumpy but ive got no eml on if you pick up the revs quite high it seems run ok as soon as they die of to tick over it goes all lumpy again

Have you checked the plug wells for water/oil?

[prr]

yes no oil or water in the wells but ive got no spark on the 1st plug (nearest the dis pac) and the 4th (nearest the cams) ive checked for water in all connections as i wash jetwashing it today but was careful not to go across the top of the engine dis pack area

try swapping a good lead onto bad cylinder if it will reach and see if it sparks. If it sparks no1 lead buggerd. If not chance dis pac. While your in there, you may want to clean the idle control valve and breathers if you havent already. Wont hurt to clean cam sensor and do a paper clip test. Hth

That is exactly the symptoms, with lumpy acceleration till higher revs, I had, replaced the rocker gasket, as oil in plug holes, new plugs and leads, still a missfire.
Fitted a new coil pack, bought from ebay, and all is fine.
Not too difcult a job if you have skinny arms and hands.

[prr]

can you have a problem with the coil pack but no eml on

[TheBoy]

[Vamps]

can you have a problem with the coil pack but no eml on

Yes, I did.

[philhoward]

I have a spare with leads if needed - working when removed.

Had similar problems with mine.Very lumpy and had no acceleration,but no EML .Had replaced all leads and plugs about 3 months before..managade to get a replacement from JueV6 and now runs a treat.Just be carefull as disppack comes in 3 types with different plug connecter..oval/rectangularon end /rectangular on side but that seems to be for older<97 models.

[philhoward]

This one's off a 95/N..can check connector if needed?
