hi all
ive been out in the scoob all day and its been going fine untill i just went to get some petrol booted it a bit the heard a odd sound and have lost all power and the engine is shaking the whole car only thing i have done today was an ecu reset as i put esso in the other day then went back to shell,thers a strong smell of petrol when the car is reved slightly

 

Check your boost and intercooler hoses for leaks and they are seated correct.

 

Also check that the actuator rod is still attached to the wastegate.

 

cheers for replying ,i just checked this morning and cant see anything wrong with the hoses and actuator is still atached,tried starting it again and it splutered to start and it still shakes like anything and can really smell fuel coming out the exhaust??but the engine sounds sweet only a slight tappet sound that its always has

 

injector stuck open? or a hole in a piston.

Do a compression test, you can get a kit from halfrauds for about 20 quid, a handy tool to have.

 

i just done a compression test but i had to do it with a cold engine coz the cars in bits, but the results were a bit odd

1 = 87 psi
2 = 87 psi
3 = 87 psi
4 = 83 psi

so can anyone tell me what this means

 

All plug leads seated correct? It could be one has come of, this could explain the petrol smell and the shaking of the engine and loss of power etc as it would be running on three cylinders Check everything in this area.

Your compression readings are a little low but even which is important you would also need to have the throttle open when doing a compression test to get the correct reading.

 

Ive just tried unplugging the injectors 1 at a time and 1,2,3, make the car worse but number 4 the car isn't any different than having them all in so should i try replacing that injector

 

And you defiantly have a spark on no4 ?

 

how can i check if have or not

 

You must do a compression test with your foot flat to the floor on the throttle otherwise the butterfly in the throttle body will stop air filling the cylinder
