misfire!help please!
 

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 ,mate yeah sounds like the coil pack has gone down so would need replacing had the same problem on mine

hi there thanks for the reply :thumb:
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
