Mikey28 0 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 i've got a 96 vr6 obd2 and it has started to have a little misfire when accelerating hard. standard apart from a n induction kit. 114kits recently been serviced, apart from the plugs and leads, as the tool is broken and i've not got a new one yet.i'm sure i read on here symptoms about the coil pack dieing but i can't seem to find it, so sorry, but does this sound like the coil pack? And while i'm here, where can i get the spark plug remover? cheersmike Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think patients is the key here! Get the plugs and leads changed before you start accusing the Coil pack of being dodgy. The tool is available direct from VW or Ebay, I imagine it is available at GSF too. You need to wait til its darkish and look for electrical arcing if you suspect the Coil or Leads. Sometimes the Coil has blatantly split the plastic insulation which is the most common fault, but they can also fail internally, either way replacement is the only option. There is a Chap on here that has a method of repairing cracks, but IMO this is only a temporary fix. Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey28 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 cheers for the info, got the tool, leads and plugs to go in now, so hopefully that'll be the problem Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey28 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 i've changed the plugs and leads and it was alot better but it was very lumpy on idle/misfire this morning while cold, i haven't used it since friday lunchtime. But its been raining nearly all weekendis there anything else that should be obvious to check apart from the coil pack for cracks etcwould the air flow meter possibly cause this and how do you clean them? i've not noticed anything wrong with it, but i've fitted an induction kit so wanted to check its clean etc Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey28 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 just had a quick look and there is a small crack on the front edge of the coil pack and its not sitting flat against the body of the pack, if that makes sense. I'll take it off tongight to have a proper look, but other suggestions still welcome Link to post Share on other sites
