Title: engine running very rough
Post by Bobbit on Dec 24th, 2011, 10:26am
Hi I have a 2.3 estate 1996
Started it up the other day after driving for about an hour, when I started it it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders.
Could this be the coil pack, and if so has anybody got one they could send me to France.
Cheers Bob :(

Check the wiring to the coil packs for insulation breaking up first...

Hi Mike,
Had a new wiring loom fitted about 3years ago, had a good look everything seems ok.

Lift the plug-leads off in turn to see if the engine changes in any way.   If it doesn't, that's the faulty cylinder, then swap the coils, and do the same thing, then you'll find yer faulty coil if it is.   Mark everything so you can put it back to where you started.   If it is a coil, I have spares, and I'll send to you for postage price.

Peter.
