Hi my scooby 1995 uk is running on 3 pots, if i remove the front left coil pack it runns the same as when its fitted , but when i touched it i got a big shock so its sparking i reckon , also i have changed the spark plug but its the same?? whats going on here please help.

 

Sounds like THAT coilpack is knackered.

 

Try a different coil pack, Take one you know works and swap them over if the problem follows that coil pack theres your problem might be easier to swap the front two over, They are easy to unplug just follow the lead till you find the multi plug unplug and swap, If the problem stays on that piston and you say you put a new plug in it might be the other end of the lead.

But to be honest like Joz said it does sound like THAT coil pack has come to the end of its life, maybe the end has broken, its common for the plastic ends to brake.

 

im well stumped now, taken the coil pack off and it was moosed to say the least so i bought another one and its still the same???????????? unless the new one is moosed aswell, please feel free to shoot me.

 

Could of knackered the spark plug, i'd get the plugs out and have a look at them.

 

been there done that???? what sends the spark to the coil pack?

 

The engine ecu would supply the coil. I would of thought it should have a feed and a switched earth as the driver for the coil. So check the wiring to the coil>
.

 

try a compresion test

 

I would also be inclined to check the compression on that cylinder.

 

Did you try swapping the coilpacks as jaywalker suggested?
If you have a good spark at the plug I would check fuel supply. Is the plug wet? If not maybe the injector connection/wire is faulty or fuel rail blocked.

 

hi guys and cheers for your help , all done now i had a wire that was only just pulled out of the connector for the coil pack causing a terrible spark,. got me stumped for a while but we will conquer all,.:luxh ello:
