Mat Now that's a thought ~ will check the injector lead on Tuesday (Before if I can get the light tester) . Know the feeling re leads mixed up !:D Could you tell me how to unclip the injector leads, I know its basic stuff but I can see there's a metal clip involved but not sure if you squeeze...

Peter No problem, I am very grateful for your input. Pat:)

From RAVE: (up to 99my) QUOTE: The electronic ignition system uses four double ended coils. The ignition coils are mounted on a bracket fitted to the rear of the engine. The circuit to each coil is completed by switching within the ECM, allowing each coil to charge. When the ECM determines the...

This what listerdiesel said earlier: "So, you need to check the lead for the bad cylinder AND the lead for the opposing plug. The pairs are: 1+4, 7+6, 5+2, 3+8. " So, is it not 5 & not 3? Or am I confusing matters (again!) Thanks fpr responding Matt:) Pat

Exeter, Devon Quite agree re cats and can't work out how to unclip the injector leads anyway!

Short answer is no. As mentioned earlier, work to date was done by a local garage who did not have a clue, paid them, tried to drive out and things were a damn sight worse, drove back in and told them to sort the leads which they had mis-connected, they had to download a diagram as they had got...

Thanks for your response. has to be an electrical fault ~ no power to the one of the coils (rest OK) Cheers, Pat

Many thanks for your reply.:) No LPG. Wasted Spark technique. Direct Ignition System. No distributor. Eliminated the lead as a problem by removing existing and trying a new lead, same result ~ no arc to the plug. This, having rigged up another coil pack and plugging in with the existing pack in...

83 views and no replies............nobody likes me?!:( Perhaps I need a lesson on 'How To Win Friends And Influence People' Tried to keep things to the point but perhaps that was wrong.......maybe I should gone into great detail about the idiots who have 'worked' on my Rangie to date and what...

No response.....have I posted this in the wrong section?

Sorry, think its a Gems coil ~ the straight one. Just wondered what course of action to take having studied other posts / threads. Should I go for a compression test or get a very expensive auto electrician involved? Is it likely to be the lead from the ECU to the coil? (I have had a lot of...

Checked leads / plugs, misfire on No. 2 cyl. RH side looking from rad. Tested another coil pack but same problem, no spark. Multimeter on coil pack showed all OK apart from that connecting to No.2 lead which was dead. Understand that if it starts OK (which it does) then the ECU is OK. Any...

Peter Many thanks for your response. I find the MOT to be more stressful than moving house. In my view Cataclean is over-rated, there was a very slight improvement in CO but in my case, not worth the money. But then again if the Lambdas are knackered I can't blame Cataclean. :banana: I now have...

'95 P38a 4.6 (No LPG fitted) The Beast just failed with readings of: Fast Idle: CO = 0.405 (needs to be max. 0.300) Second Fast Idle: CO = 0.405 (needs to be max. 0.300) Lambdas OK HC OK Testing garage says: new cats. Second opinion garage says: Lambdas (as if cats are u/s it would have...

Wammers, in your experience have you had a situation where there was a bad connection at the pressure switch causing a similar fault to mine? Thanks for your input BTW.

Fairly certain we checked that but will recheck. Thanks.

Is that near the socket my EASunlock plugs into?

Could well be the case. Reason I mention the fusebox is due to serious water leaks running down door pillars and other areas. Under carpet NS front wet floor (noticed when checking ECU). We did check the bulkhead for wire chaffing from compressor to ECU but seemed OK. If we hot-wire the relay we...

Now there's a thought.......brand new one went in but if the connection was duff in the first place I'd still have the same prob. Thanks, I'll check that out.

My local garage (Power Crazy Motorsports) put a multimeter on the Orange wire today and said it was OK but I don't think they attached a wire to earth and as I said, we also borrowed another pump which was certified OK (thermal switch etc.) and had the same prob.
