Engine light flashing

[treemanx]

Started the car up for the drive home from work and the engine management light was flashing, car is spluttering/miss firing. Any ideas? Looking on here, normally its injector related?

 

[treemanx]

No one?

Get it plugged into a diagnostics machine.

Mine done this a while back and it turned out to be a dodgy spark plug

Just had similar - diagnostic says knackered injector, will find out tomorrow!

Mums 206 did this 2 months ago and it was coil pack related. Got a new coil pack and all was fine.

Not cool, spent like a grand on the car this month

Miss fire on no. 4, anyone know where I can get a coil pack quickly without being bent over?

euro car parts? circa £40 iirc

failing that scrappers would be cheaper...

How old are the spark plugs?

 

[treemanx]

About 30k

I had this only a few days ago, turned out to be a faulty injector

 

[treemanx]

Wasn't coil pack, got to try plugs next, anywhere I can pick some up this weekend? Local spares places dont have them...

Try the injectors mate - unplug one at a time and see when one doesnt make any difference to the running of the engine, I had this happen this week - second hand injector and all sorted.

 

[treemanx]

Tried plugs injectors and leads, no. 4 still not playing ball, any other ideas?

 

[JonnyGee]

[treemanx]

Yep
