Hi
« on: 14 July 2010, 20:05:14 »
Hi all. I have a 1999 (pre-facelift) 2.5 V6 saloon which has recently started to misfire on the cylinder nearest the windscreen (drivers side). On further inspection I have found that there isn't a spark from this lead at all. The car was running fine and all of a sudden started to misfire (no intermittent problems like you normally get with a failing lead).
This makes me think that it may be the coil pack/Dis pack that has failed.
Does anyone know the correct one to choose from the THREE available. The one on my car is fitted horizontally and all other plugs/connectors on the engine appear to have oval plugs.
I am planning to buy a new dis pack, plugs and leads and to relocate the pack somewhere more accessible, possibly the void next to the pollen filter as there is an access panel in the scuttle panel at this point, making future lead changes a doddle...  ;)
Any help with the correct coil pack number would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Marc.

What makes you think it`s the Dispack could well be just that lead.
Edit: No real advantage to be gained with re-siting Dis, disadvantage is obtaining longer leads and re-routing them in a safe manner. As for dispack type you would have to check your existing one

I thought it could be the dis pack as the misfire started VERY suddenly. It started fine, ran for about 10 mins without issue, and then started missing. There is a strong spark on the other leads and nothing at all on this one. It could just be the lead, and I will be replacing these first just to check, but the dis pack will fail eventually so I figured it could be worth sorting while the car is off the road anyway...
Thanks for your reply. :)
