bazza308 0 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi,Wondering if anyone can shed some light on running problem with my VR6.Was running as sweet as a nut until earlier tonight, when in a mad moment decided to show off my car to my daughter so revved it hard and wheel spun away, drove about 50 feet, still flooring it and when i got to the corner and broke, it died and the battery light came on.I bumped it back into life, just dipped and lifted the clutch, and now it drives like crap, tick over seems low and it now sounds like the exhaust is blowing like mad.No longer the sweet VR6 rumble now sounds like a bad running diesel.any help or what to check for would be hugely appreciated, its my first VR6 so im a bit of a novice with the engine, and i think its an OB2 if that makes any difference.

bazza308 0 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Decided to check the obvious this morning so started with the leads, and lo and behold one of them swinging about not connected to the coil pack.Upon checking the end of it it looked like it had broken off the pack before and had been araldited on !!Luckily had a spare coil pack , so quick change of packs later and its running like a dream again.
