Hi Guys
I have a problem i believe with a coil in my car. At the moment i have a nasty miss and i have changed the leads and plugs about a 2 weeks ago which fixed the poblem, well now it's back. My question is if a coil is gone then would that mean both leats running of it would fail. I ask becuase at the moment lead 3 is not firing but lead 4 is and there both runing off the same coil. So i guess my question has the coil failed, need replacing or is there another problem that could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Guys Alpineau |

The coils are all part of one coil pack. You have to replace the lot, not just one. And yes, the coil could have failed. See if you can hook the car up to a scan tool - it should tell you if the coil is faulty.
I also have an intermittent miss with mine, but it seems to be the spark plug leads not pushed on properly - I fixed it again this morning by pushing no 5 & 6 leads on better, and it saeems to have fixed it so far.

Thanks JC
The car is under warranty so i think i will take it back and see if they can fix it, I did a bit or searching on the forum and noticed other people had a similar problem and was costing anywhere from 120 - 400 to fix. I hope warrany can take care of it. Cheers Alpineau |

But my leads were actually loose at the plugs, not the coil (though I did check the coil too).
