hi there i have just been out to look at a subaru impreza uk p reg to buy it and walked away.
i really liked the car but when i started it up it seemed to be running on 3 cylinders.
it is the type with the single coil with ht leads going to it,
so i got some insulated pliers and i pulled each ht lead off at the coil and found no spark coming from the one of the cylinders (front right)


my question is ,would that mean a new one of these coil modules? as all the other cylinders had a nice spark jumping from the coil to the lead bar this one cylinder, was thinking of having the car and just fixing it you see if i could get cheaper.

many thanks

hi there thanks for the reply
i had a wrx before and that had a coil pack per cylinder , i remembered them cracking so wonder if the single large ones fail too!!

ill see if i can grab one and pop up there and try it on just dont want to buy a troublesome car lol!


cheers
