cup problem

[Gaz_]

got a problem with me cup, that seems to me, to be ignition based, but see what you guys think. Now, it starts and idles fine and if its revved it seems ok, and you can drive it pretty much normal if your light with the accelerator, however if you put your foot down its very flat and seems to be missing to me, (very obvious, no power etc) if you keep the accelerator nailed down whilst its missing, it can sometimes 'catch' and knock you back in your seat, then it'll miss again. The diagnostic light has come on on the right hand side of the speedometer, NOT in the main light panel. Its booked in for a diag tommorrow and is still under warranty so no major worries, but i was thinking maybe coilpack.....?


any thoughts? its done 45 thou

cheers

Could well be my better halfs 2.0 16v scenic had same symptoms and found to be 2 x coil pack problem, done under warranty...........not a cup but symptoms exactly same mate if it eases ur mind!

yeah i think it could be that tbh, as it was a common fault on the punto gt i used to own.... Bloody annoying though

Lucky its under warranty pretty sure they were not cheap! Fortunately her bus was done on warranty too. Had exactly same light on dash too hers was intermittent, bit like her really !
