craggsy 91 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I just cant think what it could be. Was it new plugs and leads you put on? What plugs did you use? And how does it behave when driving? Link to post Share on other sites

apd 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 clean out throttle and ISV.discotect battery for 30 mins.let idle for 15 mins should stabilize tick over. Link to post Share on other sites

Ed 2 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I purchased a coilpack from a company off ebay , aftter fitting it it worked fine for about a week then developed a bad ass misfire! Only really misfired once engine got to running temp! After a good old play an a new set of hts and sparks i found out it was the connection into the coil pack that was the problem! Dodgy pins on the coil pack! i got them to replace it an doesn't miss a beat now! Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Oh ok, so i guess you mean the pins were you plug the loom into?i got mine from VW and they wont take it back the problem i have is that only 1,3 and 5 are dodgy at the mo 2,4 and 6 are fine, i just dont get what it could be?!Will try the reset later Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 2 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yer the loom was fine! though if i pushed the connector to the right it ran like bag of shit an to the left it ran fine! then eventually it just miss fired all the time an was giving intermittent sparks to 3 , 4 and 6! im no pro when it comes to engines im still learning! Might be worth seeing if any one close by has a coil pack you can try! see if it makes a difference! Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 You not sorted this yet........this has gotta be annoying you now.I still dont know how you only have a intermittent fault on 1 3 and 5?Bugging me now...lol Link to post Share on other sites
