Title: misfiring, general cack running
Post by: jtomlin on 02 September 2009, 20:12

right, basically, AGU 1999 1.8T, its misfiring, sounding like a suburu lol and its doing my head in, first thought was coilpacks, but apparently these are virtually indestructable on the agu? any help greatly appreciated

Hello,

It could be the coil packs?  you need to unplug them one at a time the listen for the engine note to change, then when you found on that dont change the note swap it over with another coil pack to make sure there is power the the coil pack plug.  

Ignition amp will also cause issues and a fecked fuel pump or fuel blocked filter.

Ermm no AGU coilpacks are rock solid ive never changed mine and ive done over 70000 miles  :laugh: - they have the separate ignition amp unlike AUM and AUQ coilpacks. Non genuine coilpacks are sh!te agreed  :wink:

The problem could still be a coilpack though  :smiley:

when you said if the amp fails you will then coil packs. you dont need 4 of them!! I am assuming you mean more than one, Yet you only need Just one, and test each one to find out which one has blown

Are you using OEM Jim Royal Coil Packs or pattern parts?
