So since my loud bang the iter night the car seems to be down on power a lot! Doesn't sound the same either. I'm guessing it's running on 3. Has anyone got a video of it running on 3 cylinders? What else would point towards it running on 3?

 

Jeeze, there's a load of things could be the cause. Coil pack, injector, spark plug, plug lead and probably worst of all piston or valves!

 

Sorry I meant is there any other way I could tell if it's running on 3?

 

Get it plugged in to a dygnostic tool

 

You'd know if you was runnin on 3,runs like ****

 

As above, runs like a pile of turd. You'd know straight away.

 

Didn't see you mentioned a bang...there any grinding,tapping or anything?

 

Yeah basicly lads, was booting it the other night then BANG (asif a boost pipe had blew) check engine light came on. Spluttered to a stop. Looked around the bay and everything seemed fine. So drove it home off boost. Any way, plugged te wires in and it came up maf, also advised it cus be te boost solenoid so replaced both. Reset ecu, it ran again, boosted fine. Then today iv started driving it and it feels slow, sluggish. Still boosting to 1.4bar but just doesn't feel right. Sounds different too. There's a slight ticking coming from the engine bay but I think tbh that's always been there.. Car stunk of fuel when that happened the other night. Since then it still smells of fuel but not as much.. Maybe it isn't running on 3, hence y I could do with hearing one running on 3 to compare it to mine

 

 

Mines not like that...
Just started it up and ecl came on for 30secs. Stopped and plugged the wires together and it came up 22 and 23. Knock sensor and Maf. Maf has been replaced yesterday so maybe I didn't reset ecu properly but code 22 is bugging me. Is it the engine sensing knock or the sensor fooked?

 

This was running on 3 cyls for a short time





Hope your's is an easy fix though mate

 

Lol.ooks very bad aha! Mine has developed a nice rattle that comes thru the exhaust though. Kinda sounds like a saxo now lol

 

Are all your coil packs connected? I had one come after changing plugs, also got a cel.

 

Are they 4 seperate coils or just the one pack that sits on manifold?

 

mine kind of sounded like that when the gasket on my manifold had gone, but you should here mine rattling away like the bottom end had gone on idle.
