Evening guys, this is my first post and I'm looking for a wee bit clio knowledge to help me out as these are all new to me.
I've just collected a 2004 172 to use out on the track and it has a intermittent fault. The car sometimes goes into limp mode (eml flashing) and runs on 3 cylinders. You can be driving along and it and it will just fire into life again and be fine for a good while before it does it again, or it can last all of 30 sec.
We plugged it in tonight and it was coming up injector 1 open circuit. So we whipped the injector rail out and swapped what we thought was injector 1&3 put it all back together and it was the same. I've had to come home but had a thought, does it go 1 to 4 from right to left if your looking into the engine bay or is it left to right?
The coil pack, leads and plugs have all been changed with new ones so that has narrowed it down a bit. My initial thoughts were an injector or the loom possibly worn through and earthing out.
Any input will be much appreciated.
callum.
