got car towed to local garage thanks to RAC, the guy took the coil packs out and plugs and doesnt seem to be firing, the fuel is getting through cos it stinks!!!

he also tried 4 new coils packs and same, so think the ECU may have gone down....

any ideas?

 

[Russ_16v]

did he try a new set of plugs?

 

[dan-rsi]

yes, plugs and coils packs. but still nothing.... like i said, its gettin fuel just no spark by the looks of it....

just had a call from the garage, after reseting the ECU and a diagnostics printout, it appears that 2 injector circuits have failed....

so 4 new injectors, 4 plugs and 4 coil packs being done....

any idea on price of injectors???

Not that much new injectors depends where you go idealy might as well go to a scrap yard/breakers yard.

Coil pack just go buy new ones for the hastle.
