Evenin folks, nightmare today broke down on the motorway lost power an cel started flashing, so shat it an pulled over straight away, rac guy read a misfire on cylinder 2 , so got it home checked the plug hadnt worked loose an it hadnt, coil pack connectors got putty around it, I'm hoping it's the coil pack.. anyone else had these symptoms from a coil pack before?

 

Swap two to four and see does the misfire move also while your in that far check the plugs.

 

Changed the plugs a few months ago mate so should be fine, I checked the plug on cylinder 2 just to be sure seems good, I bought a cheap obd2 reader a while back an doesnt work on my motor, gonna have to get one ordered before I swap the packs, but I'll try that before anything cheers. If it turns out not to be the pack what else could it be?

 

What year is it and is it a 2l or 2.5

 

its an 06 last of the blobeye😂, 2L mate

 

Can anyone reccomend a cheap ish obd reader tried the streetwize on this motor before an it didnt work.. 06 blob wrx if that helps. This is the one I tried

Take it you've used it on subies, just wary cause of the last one I got an really need to get cracked on with getting it fixed 👍

 

Yes the "UK car" refers to UK scoobies not JDM versions.

 

went to start it this morning running fine ( on idle) all i did yesterday was remove replace coil pack / spark plug an battery 🤔

 

Wonder if it's a dodgy connection on the coil pack

 

Possibly the coilpack breaking down with heat soak.

 

Got the same one works for me 👍

 

Got that code reader an works a treat👍, haven't needed to use it though as I'm hoping either the spark plug or the connector on the c packs not quite been sat right, seems to be fine now. What is heat soak?
